ServiceNow to expand security portfolio with acquisition of Veza
ServiceNow announced its intent to acquire Veza, an identity security company. The acquisition will aim to extend the capabilities of ServiceNow’s security and risk portfolios into identity security. This will enable organisations to understand and control who and what has access to their critical data, applications, systems, and AI artifacts.
Veza’s Access Graph brings an AI-native approach to identity security, giving organisations 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.
By integrating with ServiceNow’s strength in workflows, knowledge graphs, and AI, Veza also enhances the ServiceNow AI Control Tower by governing what AI agents can access and do across enterprises. Veza also adds critical identity context to existing ServiceNow Security and Risk products, 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.
Veza will strengthen ServiceNow’s identity security services with 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.
Founded in 2020, Veza serves nearly 200 global enterprise customers in banking, hospitality, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), with 230 employees globally. After this transaction closes, Veza’s identity visibility, intelligence & governance capabilities will be incorporated into ServiceNow’s security portfolio.
