Concerns Over Vendor Lock-In
Vendor lock-in is a significant concern for customers as Google Cloud acquires Wiz, raising questions about the implications for organizations heavily invested in multi-cloud environments. Customers are particularly interested in how this acquisition will affect their current vendor relationships and the competitive dynamics in the cloud security landscape. The fear is that close ties between Wiz and Google may lead to reduced collaboration from other major cloud service providers (CSPs), particularly AWS and Microsoft, limiting their willingness to share insights or integrate with Wiz’s services. This could make it difficult for practitioners, especially CISOs, to navigate the complexities of maintaining a heterogeneous cloud environment.
