06:04 AM EST, 11/05/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) unit Google's ( GOOG ) planned $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity firm Wiz has cleared a key US regulatory hurdle, media outlets reported Tuesday, citing comments from Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport.

The US Justice Department has signaled early termination of its antitrust review, indicating it does not plan to challenge the transaction, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Announced in March, the all-cash deal is Google's ( GOOG ) largest acquisition to date.

A Google ( GOOG ) spokesperson told MT Newswires that the acquisition is expected to close in 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

"Increasing access to multicloud security solutions, as this acquisition will do, will provide businesses and governments more choice in how they protect themselves. We look forward to completing the review process in other jurisdictions," the spokesperson said.
