Why Veza?
The scope, scale, and complexity of access control has skyrocketed, creating new surface area for identity-based cyber threats. And with the frequency and cost of data breaches also accelerating, the stakes have never been higher.
Old tools, built on old technology are no longer enough. You need Intelligent Access.
Why do you need Intelligent Access?
The increasing scale and complexity of managing access, along with the growing frequency and cost of identity-based attacks, demands a new approach to identity security. The old ways aren’t working any more.
1,295
Number of cloud services used by the average enterprise org. Plus an average of 364 SaaS apps.
17x
Machine identities outnumber human identities in the cloud by an average of 17 to 1.
75%
Share of breaches that occur through theft or misuse of identities.
$4.45mil
Global average cost of a data breach. In the US, it’s $9.48mil.
What is Intelligent Access?
“Intelligent Access” means that access is governed at the speed of business. Permissions are granted and revoked automatically and continuously, in accordance with security policies, for all identities and all systems.
Any company looking to govern access to data at scale should insist on the five key tenets of Intelligent Access.

All systems
Sensitive access exists across all of your systems and controlling it demands a unified approach. You need one platform that can connect quickly to any enterprise system, whether it’s on-premise or in the cloud.
All identities
You won’t achieve least privilege trying to tackle federated identities, local accounts, and machine identities with different platforms. You need all identities, both human and non-human, managed in one place.
True permissions
You need to see beyond users and groups to understand each identity’s detailed permissions in apps and resources. Groups and roles change all the time, and they are often mislabeled. The only way to see the true reality of access is to look at permissions.
Standardized
Knowing permissions isn’t useful if you don’t understand them. Together, AWS, Azure, and GCP have over 21k permissions available. Security teams and stakeholders need standardized plain-English descriptions: who can create, read, update, and delete.
Automated
To tackle the scale of access in modern IAM, you must be able to automate decision-making, including continuously monitoring access permissions, checking against policies and best practices, and fixing violations.

No agents, installers, ports, or firewalls. This out-of-band approach means no risk of downtime. Veza embraces industry best practices including independent penetration testing, data encryption at rest and inflight, strict role-based access controls, complete tenant isolation and zero external access by design. Veza is SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating our dedication to security and compliance.
Unified
Veza provides a unified Access Platform, with native products offering access search, access intelligence, access monitoring, access workflows, lifecycle management, and access requests. API-first design enables a unified ecosystem experience with tooling like ServiceNow, Snowflake, AWS, and more. A unified experience helps organizations realize fast time to value, hard savings, and operational savings.
