ServiceNow to Expand Security Portfolio with Acquisition of Veza’s AI-native Identity Security Platform

ServiceNow has announced its intent to acquire Veza, a leader in identity security. The acquisition is primed to extend the capabilities of ServiceNow’s Security and Risk portfolios to include Identity Security. This is intended to enable organizations to understand and control who and what has access to their critical data, applications, systems, and AI artifacts. As businesses take advantage of autonomous capabilities made possible through agentic AI, Veza and ServiceNow will enable end-to-end identity security rooted in the principle of least privilege that significantly reduces enterprise risk.

Veza’s AI-native approach is powered by its patented Access Graph, 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 more easily manage complexity.

“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.”

Veza’s 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 next-generation IGA capabilities, including access reviews, access requests, and an access hub, along with permission updates and end-to-end visibility.

Founded in 2020, Veza claims nearly 150 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.

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Channel Impact^®
By integrating with ServiceNow’s strength in workflows, knowledge graphs, and AI, Veza can enhance 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 partners a clearer view of who and what is associated with an exposure, incident, or risk event.
