THE CODEW TAKE
Wiz did fastest $0→$1B ARR in cybersecurity history — $1B 2025 crossed per source familiar. $32B is 32x sales at 2025 $700M ARR but 10x trailing revenue per analyst fair — shows Google betting cloud security as differentiator vs AWS/Azure. Multi-cloud promise critical — if Google forces GCP-only, value evaporates. 50% Fortune 100 penetration in 5 years vs Palo Alto decades. Watch post-close retention and whether Wiz maintains AWS/Azure support as promised — that decides if $32B becomes moat or write-down.
