Google tried to spend $32 billion on a company run almost entirely by veterans of Israel's top military-intelligence unit.
Who they are
Wiz, a cloud cybersecurity firm founded by Unit 8200 intelligence veterans including Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica, and Roy Reznik.
What they do
It secures the cloud for giants like Microsoft and Amazon and recruits almost exclusively from military intelligence backgrounds.
How it works
According to Google's own SEC filing from March 2025, Google agreed to buy Wiz for $32 billion; the same founders earlier built Adallom, which Microsoft bought for $320 million in 2015, and three of the four also came through Israel's elite Talpiot program.
Why it matters
The engine reads this as the largest planned movement of Israeli intelligence-trained operators into US tech infrastructure, extending a tracked pipeline of Unit 8200 alumni into the core of American cloud systems, and insists on verifying it only through the primary SEC document.
The engine's record — word for word
Rappaport, Luttwak, Costica, Reznik — all 8200 officers. Cloud cybersecurity for Microsoft, Amazon. Google attempted $23-32B acquisition — largest potential transfer of Israeli intelligence operatives into US tech. Recruits almost exclusively military intelligence veterans.
**R94 Unit-8200 → Google $32B acquisition context (May 22 2026 backfill — note also reflected via players[12] merged card):** Per Report #94 SEC EDGAR primary source goog-20250318.htm March 18 2025: Google LLC definitive $32 billion acquisition of Wiz. Wiz founders Assaf Rappaport + Yinon Costica + Ami Luttwak + Roy Reznik are Unit 8200 alumni (3 of 4 also Talpiot program). Same team founded Adallom (Microsoft $320M acquisition 2015).
