Wiz turned 4 last month, and what a journey it has been. 4 years ago, my fellow co-founders and I left Microsoft with a conviction that cloud security needed to be reinvented, unknowingly walking headfirst into a global pandemic. Since then, there have been more Wiz milestones than I can count thanks to our amazing customers, partners, investors, and of course our endlessly inspirational Wizards. Today’s announcement is a reminder of how far we’ve come.
