Our take
Data is migrating to the cloud, but many organizations lack the tools to protect their data from cloud-based threats and challenges. Veza solves this problem with its authorization-based cloud security platform.
Data volume is set to triple by 2025 and cyber crime is on the rise. As such, companies like Veza are in high demand. However, Veza sets itself apart from its competitors thanks to its focus on authorization, which has been a missing piece of the cloud ecosystem for some time. Veza's ability to tap into a lucrative and underserved gap in the market has allowed it to attract significant attention. The company has raised impressive funding, which is testament to its growing impact.
The cloud security sector is becoming more and more competitive, and Veza will need to take advantage of its funding success in order to scale and maintain its enviable market position. Having cemented a number of crucial partnerships, including with cloud giant Google Cloud, and onboarded enterprises such as Intuit and AMD, Veza shows no signs of slowing down.
