company active
Cloud security company; Unit 8200 spinout; $32B acquisition target

Cloud security startup founded by Unit 8200 veterans. Google attempted to acquire Wiz for $23B in 2024 (offer declined), then for $32B in 2025.

Secondary — Press & Filings (15)
secondary The pre-2020 'Wiz' entity demonstrated a filing pattern inconsistent with active cybersecurity operations: 13-year dormancy followed by concentrated terminal activity, suggesting it served as either a holding company, trademark vehicle, or underwent dissolution/transfer proceedings that cleared naming rights
Date: 2003-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary The complete absence of court records for Wiz across searched databases, despite its $23-32B acquisition valuation, represents a statistical anomaly requiring explanation through either exceptional legal compliance or litigation occurring in non-searched jurisdictions
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary The absence of lobbying disclosures under the name 'Wiz' cannot be reliably attributed to the 2020-founded cybersecurity company due to the established entity confusion with pre-2020 SEC filings
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary The established timeline confusion between 2003-2017 'Wiz' SEC filings and the 2020-founded cybersecurity company creates methodological uncertainty about which entity any government records actually reference
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary USASpending database searches for 'Wiz' may be insufficient to determine federal contracting status of the cybersecurity company due to potential subsidiary structures, name variations, and indirect contracting relationships common among Israeli cybersecurity firms
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary The 38-day window between first and last 2017 'Wiz' SEC filings suggests compliance with specific regulatory deadlines rather than discretionary reporting
Date: 2017-04-11 to 2017-05-19 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary The gap between the 2003 filing and the 2016-2017 cluster of filings warrants investigation into whether these represent the same corporate entity or different companies sharing the 'Wiz' name
Date: 2003-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary No court records found in searched databases, though this does not preclude existence of litigation in jurisdictions not covered by the search
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary Multiple SEC filings clustered in April-May 2017 (five filings within approximately six weeks) may indicate significant corporate activity or reporting requirements during that period for the entity named 'Wiz'
Date: 2017-04-11 to 2017-05-19 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary SEC EDGAR filings associated with 'Wiz' appear to date from 2003-2017, predating the cybersecurity company Wiz (founded 2020), suggesting these filings likely relate to a different entity with the same or similar name
Date: 2003-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
secondary No parliamentary records found for "Wiz" in public databases as of 2026-04-07.

Inferential — AI-Reasoned (9)
inferential The 2017 SEC filing cluster for the pre-2020 'Wiz' entity coincided with a period of heightened Israeli cybersecurity M&A activity and Unit 8200 veteran entrepreneurship, suggesting potential strategic timing for asset or naming rights transfers
Date: 2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
inferential Standard US court database searches may be insufficient to capture litigation involving Israeli cybersecurity companies due to multi-jurisdictional corporate structures and potential national security-related case sealing
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
inferential Companies valued at $23-32B in acquisition discussions likely engage in substantive government relations activities that may not appear in standard LDA database searches under the company name
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
inferential Israeli cybersecurity companies with Unit 8200 origins typically engage government relations through industry associations, retained law firms, or informal technical briefings that may not trigger LDA registration requirements
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
inferential The 'Wiz' entity's 2017 filing frequency increased by approximately 1300% compared to its 14-year historical average, indicating probable terminal corporate activity
Date: 2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
inferential The 13-year dormancy period between the 2003 and 2016 'Wiz' SEC filings suggests the entity may have been a shell company, holding company, or trademark preservation vehicle rather than an active operating business
Date: 2003-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
inferential The 2016-2017 SEC filing cluster for 'Wiz' entity corresponds to a period of heightened corporate activity that may indicate asset liquidation, merger completion, or regulatory wind-down proceedings
Date: 2016-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
FLAGGED inferential Absence of lobbying disclosures suggests the entity has not engaged in registered federal lobbying activities
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
inferential No federal contracting activity found in USASpending database, indicating the entity has not been a direct federal government contractor
Added: 07 Apr 2026 AI ANALYSIS
