As threat actors adopt agentic AI to orchestrate ever more sophisticated attacks, enterprises need strong identity and access controls and governance to ensure permissions remain tightly aligned with evolving roles, regulatory requirements, and advancing technologies. Veza\u2019s modern, unified, AI-native approach is powered by its patented Access Graph<\/a>, which maps and analyzes access relationships across human, machine, and AI identities, providing an end-to-end access visibility and risk control platform for all types of identity. This foundation embeds governance into every layer of identity and access management, giving security teams granular visibility and control to manage complexity with confidence and to put AI to work securely across every corner of their business.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cIn the era of agentic AI, every identity \u2014 human, AI agent, or machine \u2014 is a force for enterprise impact. It\u2019s only when you have continuous visibility into each identity\u2019s permissions that you can trust it,\u201d said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer, and chief product officer at ServiceNow. \u201cBy combining Veza\u2019s industry-first Access Graph with ServiceNow\u2019s 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\u2019ll 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.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cVeza was built to make identity security transparent, scalable, and effective for every organization,\u201d said Tarun Thakur, CEO of Veza. \u201cWith 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 \u2014 whether it belongs to a person, a machine, or an AI agent.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Strengthening identity security across the enterprise<\/b><\/p>\n \nVeza\u2019s Access Graph brings an AI-native approach to identity security, giving organizations a single dashboard to quickly spot and remedy overly broad permissions across both human and machine identities, including AI agents. Its scalable platform supports full next-generation IGA capabilities, including access reviews, access requests, and an access hub, along with permission updates and end-to-end visibility that legacy solutions can\u2019t match.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cServiceNow powers our horizontal business workflows, while Veza enforces least privilege and adds identity access intelligence at scale,\u201d said John Stecher, chief technology officer at Blackstone. \u201cTogether, they’ll enable more secure and scalable workflows for enterprise businesses with smarter access management, ongoing access reviews, and seamless deprovisioning. The combined platform will provide a context-rich identity governance framework that will be key in the age of agentic AI.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nBy integrating with ServiceNow\u2019s strength in workflows, knowledge graphs, and AI<\/a>, Veza also enhances the ServiceNow AI Control Tower<\/a> by governing what AI agents can access and do across enterprises. Veza also adds critical identity context to existing ServiceNow Security and Risk products<\/a>, including Vulnerability Response, Incident Response, and Integrated Risk Management, giving customers a clearer view of who and what is associated with an exposure, incident, or risk event. As identity security becomes a core pillar of ServiceNow\u2019s Security Operations, Veza strengthens exposure management, incident response, and integrated risk management capabilities.\n<\/p>\n Minimizing customers\u2019 exposure and cyber risk with integrated identity security<\/b><\/p>\n \nVeza will strengthen ServiceNow\u2019s identity security services with deep cross-platform visibility into who and what has access, enabling consistent and auditable access governance across connected applications. That shared foundation is critical for agentic AI, helping ensure autonomous actions stay aligned with enterprise policies. This gives ServiceNow the trusted identity layer agents need to act safely at scale, which is essential to winning in an agentic AI world. With richer identity visibility, enterprises can centrally govern, monitor, and enforce AI access and actions across their entire ecosystem. Veza also complements existing identity features on the ServiceNow AI Platform, like Machine Identity Console, by offering better visibility and simpler management as businesses scale with AI.\n<\/p>\n \nFounded in 2020, Veza serves nearly 150 global enterprise customers in banking, hospitality, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), with 230 employees globally. After this transaction closes, Veza\u2019s identity visibility, intelligence & governance capabilities will be incorporated into ServiceNow\u2019s security portfolio.\n<\/p>\n \nThe transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.\n<\/p>\n Use of forward-looking statements<\/b><\/p>\n \nThis press release contains “forward-looking statements” about the expectations, beliefs, plans, intentions, and strategies relating to ServiceNow\u2019s proposed acquisition of Veza.
