Israelis constantly dominating the cybersecurity industry..damn

Which is sadly bad. Those startups are vacuuming up the talent from IDF (unit 8200 for example), the co-founder of Wiz is 8200 alumni. The results are evident with a complete failure of intelligence on Oct 7. Head of 8200 unit was busy writing book about AI stretegy and recruits see IDF's cyber intelligence units as a spring board to startup world and not about dedicating themselves to protecting the country.

I seriously doubt this is why. Israelis love saying “it’ll be fine, don’t worry about it” and then hoping for the best. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out this way, no matter what kind of elite unit you’re associated with.

Or they needed an excuse to intensify a genocide.

> A takeover of Wiz would rank among the biggest deals of the year and would still probably face scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission under President Donald Trump, whose new chair Andrew Ferguson has maintained guidelines giving the agency the ability to block large deals used by his predecessor Lina Khan.

Honest question, is there a chance the trade commission under Trump will consider blocking this deal?

The corruption in the new administration is no longer covert, so Google figured it should be an easy deal.

Way to go! Congratulations!

Why?

I don’t see the synergy.
