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 2026 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.
Recently, Veza was acquired by Service Now, a major milestone for the fast-growing company. Alongside this, Veza also raised $108M in funding in 2025, taking its valuation to $808M and showing strong confidence in its platform. Now part of ServiceNow's security and risk portfolio, Veza is set to scale its technology on a global scale and play a central role in how organizations manage access across cloud, data and AI.
