8. Wiz
Date it joined the $1bn AWS Marketplace club: October 2025
Total ARR: $500m
Living up to its name, Wiz in October claimed it had become the fastest cybersecurity vendor to join the $1bn AWS Marketplace club.
The Israel-headquartered cyber vendor hit the ten-figure mark in just 1,478 days, according to a LinkedIn post from its Global Head of AWS Alliance, Steve Vaughan.
Vaughan described it as “rarified air”.
Wiz traditionally sold mainly direct via the three major hyperscaler marketplaces, before opting to add partners into the mix last February, Wiz’s Director of UKI Channels & Alliances, Nick Ross, told IT Channel Oxygen in July.
“Often the trust is held in the partners,” he said.
“They’ve known the customers for five, six, ten years, and the customers want them to be included and to support them on their journey. Now that you can do that in the hyperscaler marketplaces with partners, that’s exactly our sweet spot.”
The news came just a week ahead of Wiz’s sale to AWS hyperscaler rival Google receiving clearance from the US Justice Department on 5 November.
Omdia Chief Analyst Jay McBain dubbed the acquisition “an interesting thing to watch”, noting that Wiz “played well on AWS”.
