I've used wiz in a previous job. Its a good product. I don't know if they invented disk snapshot based security scanning, but they certainly popularized it.

Companies like CrowdStrike have copied a lot of what Wiz has been doing (and I'm sure wiz has copied some CrowdStrike features).

This announcement is pretty disappointing to me. I would have more faith in Wiz as an independent company than as part of Google. I expect their innovation to fall off a cliff.
