Explain access, find risk faster, and turn intent into decisions
Access AI helps identity and security teams answer who has access to what and why, speed investigations, and guide least-privilege decisions at scale. It adds natural-language explainability, intent-driven search, and explainable queries to the Veza Access Platform so reviewers and admins can act with confidence.
Why Access AI
- Understand instantly — Explain who has what and why in plain language with traceable paths to access and risk.
- Investigate faster — Intent-driven search finds what you meant, not just what you typed.
- Finish reviews on time — Reviewer summaries, progress cues, and due dates reduce rubber-stamping.
- Prove least privilege — Tie recommendations to activity and right-size access with evidence.

What’s inside
- Access AI for Access Search — Natural-language explainability for who, what, and why access questions.
- Universal, intent-driven search — Resolve real questions to the right identities, entitlements, and controls.
- Query explainability and NL builder — Convert plain English into auditable queries with “why-this-result” reasoning.
- Access AI for Access Reviews — Clarifies scope, progress, and due dates with admin context to reduce friction.
- Activity-aware right-sizing — Use usage signals to propose safe reductions with evidence.

How it works
- Ingest & map identities, entitlements, and activity into the Access Graph.
- Explain & search with Access AI to reveal who, what, and why, with context that guides investigations.
- Decide & document using explainable queries and natural-language controls you can audit.
- Operationalize decisions in Access Reviews, Lifecycle Management, and Access Requests; escalate to enforcement where needed.

From decision to enforcement
Finding risk is half the job. When SCIM and canned connectors stop, pair Access AI decisions with Veza’s programmable last mile to provision/deprovision across legacy and custom systems using the Open Authorization API. See how policy-driven enforcement works in the Open Authorization API Solution Brief.
Outcomes
- Reduced investigation time — Move from search to answer with explainability and intent search.
- On-time review completion — Progress and due-date clarity improve throughput and decision quality.
- Defensible least privilege — Right-size access with activity evidence and auditable reasoning.
- Stronger governance ROI — Insights flow into Reviews, Lifecycle, Requests, and—when required—programmable enforcement.
Who it’s for
Security & identity architects • Compliance & audit leaders • Platform, cloud, and data teams • IAM/IGA owners modernizing governance with explainability and intent search
Customer proof
To operate with least privilege, companies must be focused on their identity posture. With the modern enterprise moving away from standing access, success now depends on having the appropriate tools and automated solutions. Nearly every discovery made by Veza’s AI has prompted an immediate response from our team. With hundreds of thousands of entitlements to oversee, leveraging AI-driven automation has been essential to staying proactive.
