The tech world never stands still. Google's acquisition of Wiz has created a significant disruption in the cloud security space - and an enormous opportunity for nimble competitors. With Amazon and Microsoft users now seeking alternative providers, we're witnessing a rare market moment that smart Product Marketing Managers should capitalize on immediately.

The Opportunity Landscape

With Amazon and Microsoft users now actively seeking alternative cloud security providers, we're witnessing a rare market moment where customer acquisition costs could plummet while conversion rates soar. These users need a solution, and they need it fast.

But here's the critical insight: This isn't just about cloud security platforms. This is a textbook case of market disruption that smart Product Marketing Managers (PMMs) should be jumping on immediately. The window to capitalize on this shift won't stay open forever.

We've Seen This Pattern Before

Time and again, when tech giants acquire popular platforms, a segment of users inevitably looks elsewhere - whether due to ecosystem conflicts, privacy concerns, or simply seeking independence from the acquiring company.

  • Microsoft acquired GitHub
  • Cisco acquired Duo Security
  • Google acquired Looker

In each case, competitors who moved quickly captured significant market share during the transition period.

How PMMs Should Respond

If you're a PMM at a cloud security or cybersecurity company, this is your moment. Some immediate actions to consider:

  • Launch targeted campaigns specifically addressing the concerns of transitioning Wiz users
  • Create comparison content highlighting your differentiators from Google's offerings
  • Build migration tools to make the switch seamless
  • Develop partnership opportunities with Amazon and Microsoft to fill the cloud security gap
