ServiceNow Expands Security Stack with Veza’s AI Identity Platform

ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business innovation, announced to purchase Veza, dealing in identity security. The acquisition will extend the capabilities of ServiceNow’s Security and Risk portfolios into one of cybersecurity’s most significant areas that is at the forefront of every breach today – Identity Security.

Organizations will be able to comprehend and manage who and what has access to their vital data, apps, systems, and AI artifacts thanks to this. Veza and ServiceNow will offer end-to-end identity security based on the least privilege principle, which dramatically lowers corporate risk, as companies utilize autonomous capabilities made possible by agentic AI.

Employees, partners, systems, applications, gadgets, and increasingly autonomous AI agents are just a few of the many identities that modern businesses must manage. Businesses need robust identity and access controls and governance to make sure permissions stay closely matched with changing roles, legal requirements, and emerging technologies as threat actors use agentic AI to plan ever more complex attacks.

Veza’s patented Access Graph, which maps and analyzes access relationships across human, machine, and AI identities and offers an end-to-end access visibility and risk control platform for all types of identity, powers the company’s modern, unified, AI-native approach.

By integrating governance into each level of identity and access management, this foundation provides security teams with fine-grained visibility and control to confidently handle complexity and safely use AI throughout their whole enterprise.

“In the era of agentic AI, every identity — human, AI agent, or machine — is a force for enterprise impact. It’s only when you have continuous visibility into each identity’s permissions that you can trust it,”

said Amit Zavery, President, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Product Officer at ServiceNow.

“By combining Veza’s industry-first Access Graph with ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower and agentic workflows, we can give customers a true single pane of glass, with control of every identity in their organization. Together, we’ll empower CISOs and security teams to make safer access decisions that protect their businesses, and to defend their high-value data assets from AI-powered attacks.”

“Veza was built to make identity security transparent, scalable, and effective for every organization,”

said Tarun Thakur, CEO of Veza.

“With ServiceNow, we will help customers embrace AI with greater confidence. Together, we can turn identity governance and identity security into a strategic advantage by giving organizations clear, integrated control over every type of identity — whether it belongs to a person, a machine, or an AI agent.”

Veza’s Access Graph introduces an AI-native approach to identity security, offering enterprises a single dashboard to instantly discover and rectify too broad permissions across both human and machine identities, including AI agents.

Complete next-generation IGA features, including access reviews, access requests, and an access hub, as well as permission updates and end-to-end visibility that are unmatched by older systems, are supported by its scalable platform.
