The king, retired to Google's stable (brand kept). Wiz defined CNAPP and ran the cleanest land-and-expand motion cloud security has seen — the fastest-ever climb to $100M ARR — then sold to Google for $32B, the largest pure cybersecurity acquisition on record. Under the eligibility rules it left the active card the moment the deal closed. Its absence is the vacuum every active fighter is now contesting.
