Google + Wiz: Multicloud Security Strategy for CISOs 2026

CISOs managing multicloud environments face mounting pressure as AI-driven threats grow faster than traditional security teams can respond. The Google and Wiz combination directly addresses this gap.

The cybersecurity landscape is undergoing a significant paradigm shift driven by increasingly complex cloud infrastructure and the rapid rise of AI. Threat actors are leveraging AI for adversarial purposes, while security teams struggle to keep pace. Google and Wiz are responding by merging Wiz's deep cloud telemetry with Google's AI and quantum research capabilities to help CISOs navigate the agentic enterprise era.

What was announced

At RSA Conference 2026, Vinod D'Souza, director of the Office of the CISO at Google, and Anthony Belfiore, chief strategy officer at Wiz, outlined how the Google and Wiz integration changes multicloud security strategy. Key highlights include:

• Near real-time defense: By integrating with Gemini and Google DeepMind, Wiz aims to enable hyper-resilient, self-healing code and infrastructure.
• Developer-centric security: Over 50% of Wiz's daily active users are now developers, not security practitioners, after shifting security left into the code via tools like Wiz Code.
• Signal efficiency: Wiz's graph-based vulnerability analysis ranks cloud threat priorities in 15 minutes or less, replacing a process that previously took weeks.
• Agentic SOC: Combining Wiz's Red, Blue, and Green agents with Google Security Operations' Threat Hunting, Detection Engineering, and Third-Party Context agents enables scalable, human-above-the-loop security operations.
• Hybrid infrastructure support: Wiz developed sensors for Linux, vSphere, and Windows to deliver a unified security view across hybrid and cloud-native environments.
• Massive data advantage: Google's global data access covers 90% of the world's browsers and 25% of fiber data, substantially improving threat detection when combined with Wiz's telemetry.

Why this matters for CEE

Organizations in Central and Eastern Europe are accelerating cloud migrations while managing legacy on-premises infrastructure. The hybrid sensor coverage introduced by Wiz — supporting Linux, vSphere, and Windows — directly addresses the mixed infrastructure reality common in CEE enterprises. Meanwhile, the developer-centric approach reduces the dependency on scarce security specialist talent, a particularly acute challenge in regional IT markets.

The agentic SOC model allows smaller security teams to manage larger threat surfaces, which is directly relevant for mid-market enterprises across CEE. The 15-minute threat prioritization capability and automated context delivery into developer workflows such as GitHub also reduce operational overhead for organizations with lean IT teams.

Technical details

• Wiz Code: Provides line-of-code traceability linking production vulnerabilities directly back to source repositories, enabling developers to fix issues at the point of origin.
• Hybrid sensors: Native support for Linux, vSphere, and Windows environments provides a single-pane-of-glass security view across hybrid migrations.
• Gemini + DeepMind integration: Wiz leverages Google AI to advance toward self-healing infrastructure and hyper-resilient code.
• Agentic automation: Red, Blue, and Green agents (Wiz) combined with Threat Hunting and Detection Engineering agents (Google Security Operations) enable automated, scalable SOC operations.
• Data correlation: Wiz cloud telemetry combined with Google's access to 90% of global browser traffic and 25% of fiber data creates superior threat detection correlation.
• Human-in-the-loop: Fully autonomous code fixing remains in development; current workflows require human approval for automated infrastructure changes to prevent unintended outages.

Softprom and Google

Softprom is the official partner of Google Cloud in the CEE region. As part of this partnership, Softprom provides access to Google Cloud security solutions, including the integrated Wiz capabilities, for enterprises and IT service providers across Central and Eastern Europe.
