Veza

Palo Alto, CA Cybersecurity Acquired

Veza is an identity security and access management platform built on the power of authorization. Founded in 2020 by Tarun Thakur, Maohua Lu, and Robert Whitcher, the company enables enterprises to understand, manage, and control who can and should take what action on what data across hybrid, multi-cloud environments. Veza's Access Platform unifies permissions and entitlements across SaaS apps, cloud infrastructure, data systems, and on-prem systems to enforce least privilege, automate identity governance (IGA), and reduce identity risk. The company competes with legacy IGA vendors like SailPoint and Saviynt. In December 2025, ServiceNow announced its intent to acquire Veza in a deal reported at approximately $1 billion.
