Israel just produced two of the largest cybersecurity exits in history within a single year. Google completed its $32 billion acquisition of Wiz on March 11, 2026. Palo Alto Networks closed its $25 billion acquisition of CyberArk on February 11, 2026. Combined: $57 billion in disclosed transaction value, both anchored to companies founded in Israel.
