Wiz, now part of Google Cloud, has recognised five Australian partners for their contribution to helping organisations strengthen cloud and AI security, announcing the winners of its inaugural Australian Partner Awards at the Wiz Partner Summit in Sydney.
The awards recognise partners that have demonstrated excellence in helping customers adopt cloud technologies securely while navigating the growing complexity of AI-driven environments.

- Partner of the Year: Accenture

- Rising Star: Mantel Group
- AI Security Excellence Partner: Versent

According to Ramon Valery, Channel Director, Australia & New Zealand at Wiz, partners are central to helping organisations innovate securely as cloud adoption and AI deployments continue to accelerate.
“Our Australian partner ecosystem plays a critical role in helping customers secure their cloud and AI journeys,” Valery said. “We are honoured to celebrate these exceptional partners who bring deep technical expertise and dedication to our customers. Together, we are helping organisations scale securely and innovate confidently.”
The awards form part of the Wiz Partner Alliance, the company’s global partner program that brings together system integrators, consulting partners and value-added resellers to help customers strengthen their cloud security posture and accelerate digital transformation.
Founded in 2020, Wiz has rapidly established itself as one of the fastest-growing cloud security companies globally. Its platform gives organisations visibility across cloud infrastructure, applications and runtime environments, enabling security and engineering teams to identify and remediate risks from a single platform.
The company became part of Google Cloud in March 2026 following Google’s completion of its landmark US$32 billion acquisition. Wiz continues to operate under its own brand while supporting customers across all major cloud platforms, including AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
As organisations increasingly adopt AI and operate across multiple cloud environments, partner expertise has become increasingly important in helping customers deploy security consistently while managing evolving cyber risks.
The inaugural Australian Partner Awards recognise the organisations leading that effort, highlighting the role of Australia’s technology partner community in enabling secure cloud and AI adoption.
