Veza

About

At Veza, we are spearheading a new era in identity security, driven by groundbreaking technology to address the complexities of modern data environments. Founded in early 2020 by Tarun Thakur, Maohua Lu, and Rob Whitcher, Veza was born from the realization that as the world's data rapidly transitioned to the cloud, a critical piece was missing: a clear understanding of 'who has access to what data'. This fundamental question, which many CIOs, CISOs, and CDOs struggled to answer, became our core mission. We are revolutionizing how organizations manage and control data access through our innovative Authorization Graph. This technology connects identities and their relationships to data across hybrid, multi-cloud enterprise systems, offering unprecedented visibility and control. Veza's platform is engineered to empower organizations to adopt an identity-first approach to data security. We address critical business needs such as streamlining access governance, securing data lakes, managing cloud entitlements, and modernizing privileged access. Our vision is to enable organizations to confidently use and share their data safely. Through our advanced authorization metadata platform, we provide the tools for analysis, monitoring, and certification of end-to-end access. This allows enterprises to move beyond traditional, often inadequate, security measures and embrace a future where data access is intelligent, secure, and aligned with business velocity. We are committed to continuous innovation, helping enterprises like Blackstone, Wynn Resorts, and Expedia navigate the evolving landscape of cyber threats and ensure that the right individuals have the right access at the right time, thereby achieving true least privilege and de-risking potential breaches.
