that would immediately shed half the value of the company and Google would need to book a huge loss

e.g. half of Fortune 100 use Wiz and I assure you most of them do not use GCP (or do not use only GCP)




That hasn't stopped them before. Fitbit and Nest, for example. Granted, this is an order of magnitude more money to waste. Maybe they'll come up with a better strategy this time.


Neither of those are enterprise products, though. Looker, as a better comparison, is still available on AWS and Azure.


Google doesn't have a strong record keeping enterprise products around either. I would expect them to absorb this product, release a similar product based on the technology but fully integrated, then sunset Wiz asap.


I would think the majority of f100 is multi cloud and absolutely uses GCP for at least some workloads.


"(or do not use only GCP)"


half of Fortune 100 use Wiz

gonna need a citation on that. All I could find was their own quotes.


it's obviously from their own quotes but you can get most of the names in their various customers use cases, joint PRs and the likes (and those required the customers' direct approval )
