- Veza has launched a new product called Access Requests, aimed at minimizing identity-based threats.
- The product utilizes AI and machine learning to automate access permissions based on the principle of least privilege.
- This release signifies a major evolution in identity security, providing organizations with a more efficient and secure access management solution.
In Palo Alto, California, on December 3, 2024, Veza, a leader in Identity Security, unveiled their latest product, Veza Access Requests. This innovative solution is designed to help organizations minimize risks associated with identity-based threats by providing automated access policy intelligence tailored for application access. By leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning, the platform intelligently identifies the most secure, least privileged roles for users requesting access, moving away from traditional methods that relied on user group assignments. The Access Requests feature is built on Veza’s Role Engineering capabilities, ensuring that users are provisioned according to the principle of least privilege from the outset. In addition, the release includes a new Access Hub interface that empowers managers to effectively oversee access permissions for their teams, enabling a streamlined self-service application access process. This development represents a shift towards a more agile and secure identity management system. Alongside the Access Requests product launch, Veza announced various enhancements to its platform, including advanced features for Access Intelligence and Reviews, which integrate risk metrics into access reviews, offering comprehensive analytics that summarize roles and permissions. These enhancements support organizations in maintaining compliance, achieving least privilege, and reducing the potential for breaches effectively. Veza's dedication to evolving its identity security capabilities signifies a response to the challenges posed by underrepresented access controls in multi-cloud environments and modern workspaces. With the introduction of features like Access Profile Automation and Activity Monitoring for applications like Microsoft 365 SharePoint, Veza is positioning itself as a critical player in the identity governance and administration landscape, redefining how organizations manage user access and security.
