Nov 5 (Reuters) - Cybersecurity company Wiz has cleared

a U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) antitrust review of its

acquisition by Google-parent Alphabet, Wiz CEO said in

a Wall Street Journal event on Tuesday.

The deal, valued at about $32 billion, would be Alphabet's

largest acquisition. It will integrate Wiz into Google's cloud

unit, enhancing the company's cybersecurity solutions to help

businesses mitigate critical risks.

"Definitely, this is an important milestone, but we're still

in the journey between signing and closing," Wiz CEO Assaf

Rappaport said, when asked about the DOJ review of the deal.

In June, Bloomberg had reported that the DOJ antitrust

enforcers were reviewing whether Alphabet's planned acquisition

the cybersecurity firm would illegally limit competition in the

marketplace.

"We look forward to completing the review process in other

jurisdictions. The acquisition of Wiz is expected to close in

2026, subject to customary closing conditions," a Google

spokesperson told Reuters in an emailed statement.

The DOJ and Wiz did not immediately respond to Reuters

requests for comment.
