“The Commission gathered extensive feedback from customers and rival suppliers of cloud security and cloud infrastructure services, in order to investigate the impact of all material aspects of the transaction.Based on its market investigation, the Commission found that there are several credible competitors that customers could switch to if Google were to bundle Wiz’s multi-cloud security platform with its existing products, or in case Wiz’s platform no longer worked with clouds other than Google’s.The Commission also investigated whether Google, by acquiring Wiz, would obtain access to commercially sensitive data on competing cloud service providers that also integrate with Wiz’s solutions. The market investigation confirmed that the data that Google would obtain as a result of the transaction is not commercially sensitive, and can generally be accessed by other security software companies.”
