Veza for Active Directory
Unified Access Governance and Identity Security Across Hybrid Environments
Active Directory (AD) remains central to managing enterprise identities, but as environments expand to include on-prem AD, Entra ID, and hybrid configurations, enforcing access control becomes a high-risk challenge. Inconsistent policies, privilege sprawl, and lack of visibility across these systems expose organizations to security threats and audit failures.
Veza addresses this with comprehensive access visibility and governance workflows, enabling organizations to both understand and act on identity risks. By discovering users, groups, roles, and access control lists (ACLs) across on-prem and cloud environments, Veza empowers teams to automate access reviews, streamline provisioning and deprovisioning, and enforce least privilege—all while reducing operational overhead.
Access Challenges in Active Directory
Without centralized insight, misconfigured access increases risk exposure, operational overhead, and audit failures.
Lack of Entitlement Visibility
Active Directory doesn’t show which permissions or entitlements each group grants, making it nearly impossible to assess who has access to what, and why.
Admin Overprovisioning
Difficult to track and govern admin access across on-prem and cloud environments.
Complex Group-Role Mappings
Nested groups and inherited roles obscure true access paths.
Privilege Creep
Users accumulate unnecessary permissions over time without review.
Limited Audit Visibility
Native AD tools make access reviews and compliance reporting inefficient.
Manual Governance Processes
Traditional access requests, reviews, and deprovisioning lack automation and context, increasing delays and risk.
How Veza Helps
Veza integrates with Active Directory (including Entra ID and Hybrid Entra ID) to:
- Discover user > group > role > ACL relationships across all AD environments.
- Visualize access with Veza’s Access Graph
- Audit users with elevated privileges, including admins and service accounts.
- Identify inactive, locked, or risky service accounts and users.
- Automate fine-grained policies and access reviews to simplify compliance.
- Enable request-based access workflows and lifecycle management to support provisioning, deprovisioning, and change approvals.
Result: Enforce least privilege, accelerate audits, and continuously monitor Active Directory access with confidence.
- Visibility & Control: Map and monitor users, groups, roles, and ACL rules across on-prem and cloud AD environments—all in one place.
- Least Privilege Enforcement: Identify excessive permissions and automate policy-driven role cleanups to reduce security risks.
- Near Real-Time Monitoring: Track access changes continuously. Get alerts on risky permissions, admin assignments, or privilege escalations.
- Compliance-Ready Reporting: Automate access reviews and generate reports aligned with SOX, GDPR, ISO 27001, and internal policy frameworks.
- Governance at Scale: Support access requests, approvals, and provisioning workflows across the full lifecycle of identity access in AD environments.
