The cloud security startup Wiz has announced its entry into the Ukrainian market. According to Forbes Ukraine, Softico has become the official representative of Wiz in Ukraine, offering solutions in the field of information security and IT distribution.
Wiz stands out among players in the Cloud Native Application Protection Platform sector by providing innovative solutions for cloud security control without the need for large DevSecOps teams.
Unlike traditional systems, Wiz operates without agents, simplifying integration and providing clear visibility of risks and relationships between users and assets. The platform supports AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes, complies with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR standards, and easily integrates with CI/CD processes.
Andy Ritchie, head of WW Partners at Wiz, emphasized the company's commitment to helping businesses safely implement cutting-edge technologies like cloud and AI, opening new horizons for innovation. "Wiz enables organizations to leverage these technologies without unnecessary risks," he noted.
Softico, as the representative of Wiz, will handle localization, consulting, and support for clients transitioning to a cloud security model. Oleksandr Butusov, Head of the Information Security Department at Softico, stated that there is a growing interest in CNAPP solutions in Ukraine that combine scalability and ease of implementation.
Background: Wiz has emerged as one of the fastest-growing startups globally due to the rising demand for its services amid the transition of businesses to the cloud. According to reports, nearly half of the world's top 100 companies, including BMW, Salesforce, Morgan Stanley, Shell, eBay, and AstraZeneca, utilize its services. Wiz's revenue reached $500 million in 2024, with co-founder Roy Reznik aiming to double this figure by 2025.
It has also been noted that following the onset of the full-scale war, Ukrainian businesses have been actively transitioning to cloud services such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. According to the IT Ukraine Association, the market for cloud security in Ukraine has tripled during this period and may grow another 226% by 2029, reaching $3.78 million. The most active adopters of cloud solutions are companies from the fintech, retail, and public sectors.
In March 2025, Google announced its largest acquisition, signing a deal to purchase Wiz for $32 billion. Following this, Wiz will become part of Google Cloud. Recently, this deal successfully passed scrutiny from the antitrust division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Google stated that the approval process continues in other countries. The transaction is expected to close in 2026, pending standard closing conditions.
