Alphabet's Google has cleared a significant U.S. antitrust review for its proposed $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity company Wiz Inc. The Justice Department has reportedly concluded its in-depth investigation into the merger, a key step toward finalizing the massive deal which was first announced in March. The decision to close the review was confirmed by Wiz's CEO at a Wall Street Journal event. This regulatory clearance removes a major uncertainty that has been surrounding the deal. The acquisition is a strategic move for Google, aimed at significantly bolstering its position in the cybersecurity market and expanding its cloud offerings. By clearing this hurdle, Google is now much closer to integrating Wiz's technology and expanding its enterprise security capabilities, a key growth area for the company.
