New Delhi: ServiceNow has announced its plan to acquire Veza in a move aimed at strengthening its Security and Risk portfolio with deeper identity security capabilities. The decision comes as enterprises face growing risks linked to human, machine, and increasingly autonomous AI identities, which have become critical factors in recent cybersecurity incidents.
The integration will bring Veza’s AI-native Access Graph into the ServiceNow platform, offering organisations clearer visibility into access relationships across applications, data, systems, and AI agents. This mapping capability is designed to help security teams identify overly broad permissions, enforce least-privilege access, and maintain governance as roles and technologies evolve. ServiceNow said the acquisition aligns with the rising need for continuous permission monitoring, especially as threat actors begin to adopt agentic AI to conduct more sophisticated attacks.
The combined platform will support end-to-end identity governance functions, including access reviews and permission updates, and will also add identity context to ServiceNow’s existing products such as Vulnerability Response, Incident Response, and Integrated Risk Management. According to enterprise users like Blackstone, the integration may help organisations streamline access intelligence and improve auditability across systems. ServiceNow expects Veza’s capabilities to enhance oversight of AI agents as businesses adopt more automated workflows, positioning identity security as a central layer of enterprise cyber risk management.
