Google, which became one of the world’s the most valuable companies through its search engine and other consumer internet services, is nearing its largest-ever acquisition to improve what it can offer to business customers.
Google is in talks to buy Wiz, a New York-based cybersecurity start-up, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions, who were not authorized to discuss them.
Wiz was last valued at $12 billion.
While a deal looks likely, talks could still fall apart, the people said.
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that the companies were discussing a deal.
