Veza
FeaturedVeza provides a data-centric identity and access visibility platform, mapping what every identity can do across cloud infrastructure, SaaS, data systems, and on-premises applications to enable access governance and least-privilege enforcement.

Quick answer
What is Veza?
Short answer
Veza takes a data-centric approach to identity and access governance: rather than managing authentication, it focuses on answering 'who can do what to which data?' across an organization's full technology stack — cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), SaaS applications, data systems (Snowflake, databases), and on-premises applications. It builds a graph of permissions and entitlements, enabling teams to identify over-privileged access, ghost accounts, and SoD violations. Veza is often positioned as a complement to or replacement for parts of traditional IGA — particularly for cloud and data permissions that traditional IGA tools handle poorly. Verify current capabilities and pricing with Veza.
- Best for
- Security and identity teams that need visibility into effective permissions across cloud and data infrastructure — not just application-level access — and want to enforce least privilege and conduct access reviews across environments that traditional IGA tools handle poorly.
- When to choose
- Choose Veza when you need visibility into effective permissions across cloud infrastructure and data systems that traditional IGA tools do not cover well, and you want to accelerate access reviews, least-privilege enforcement, and identity risk management in cloud-native environments.
- When not to choose
- Avoid Veza if you need a full IGA platform with provisioning, access request workflows, and lifecycle management — Veza is a visibility and governance tool, not a provisioning system.
Common use cases
- Effective permissions mapping across AWS, GCP, Azure, and SaaS applications
- Access reviews and certifications across cloud and data infrastructure
- Least-privilege enforcement and over-privilege detection
- Identity risk management and anomaly detection
- SoD policy violation detection across complex multi-system environments
- Non-human identity (service account) visibility and governance
Strengths
- Distinctive data-centric approach to access visibility — understands effective, not just nominal, permissions
- Strong coverage of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and data systems (Snowflake, databases)
- Complements traditional IGA tools for cloud and data permissions that those tools miss
- Non-human identity visibility is increasingly important in cloud-native environments
- Relatively fast time-to-visibility compared to full IGA implementations
Limitations & considerations
- Not a replacement for traditional IGA (no provisioning, request workflows, or lifecycle management)
- Enterprise pricing — verify with Veza
- Newer platform — verify enterprise track record with references
- Requires integration work to connect all systems — value scales with breadth of integrations
