playerIntelligence & Surveillance · Darknet & Cyber
The biggest cybersecurity deal in tech history traces straight back to an Israeli military intelligence unit.
Who they are
Assaf Rappaport, a veteran of the IDF's Unit 8200 who founded the security firms Adallom and Wiz.
What they do
He built companies that were bought by tech giants — Adallom by Microsoft in 2015, and Wiz by Google for $32 billion in 2025.
How it works
Wiz holds a high US federal cloud-security authorization (FedRAMP High), and the engine documents its $32 billion sale as wired directly to the Israeli military intelligence pipeline via its founder.
Why it matters
The engine flags it as the largest cybersecurity acquisition in tech history and a documented link between elite military intelligence talent and top-tier US tech infrastructure.
