Veza, a pioneer in identity security, announced a major expansion of the Veza Platform with Veza Access Agents. These purpose-built AI Agents automate complex identity and access governance tasks for enterprises. Veza also enhanced its AI Agent Security product to improve visibility, risk insights, and control over AI ecosystems. As enterprises adopt agentic AI, identity-based access complexity has reached a tipping point.
“Identity security for AI agents is one of the most urgent and unsolved challenges in cybersecurity today,” says Phil Venables, cybersecurity leader, partner at Ballistic Ventures, and former CISO, Google Cloud. “As organizations move toward a future where AI agents may outnumber humans by 80 to 1 or more, the question of permissions and authorization becomes mission-critical. Without clear governance, visibility, and control, AI agents introduce a new layer of risk at machine scale. Veza Access Agents addresses this head-on, bringing the same rigor, policy intelligence, and authorization discipline we expect for human identities to the rapidly expanding ecosystem of AI agents.”
Introducing Veza Access Agents
Veza Access Agents leverage the Veza Access Graph to deliver interactive IAM experiences. Built on AWS Bedrock, the platform selects Claude, Opus, or Sonnet models for optimized performance. Early access includes Prompt Agent, Access Search Agent, and Access Review Agent. These tools provide conversational insights, permission visualization, and risk-focused review automation.
“Identity is a foundational element in security, especially in the era of autonomous AI. We are on the cusp of having trillions of AI agents. And we believe that identity Security for AI Agents is an unsolved problem,” said Tarun Thakur, Co-Founder and CEO of Veza. “Veza’s Access Graph harnesses the power of identity and permissions data across enterprise systems, to help organizations understand who and what can access what data. This enables enterprises to visualize, govern, and manage access across humans, non-human identities, and AI agents to data. With the introduction of Veza Access Agents, we are shifting the burden of access security and access governance tasks from a manual effort to intelligent, automated reasoning – this lays the foundation to enforce deterministic policies for agents at machine speed towards our vision of Veza as the Enterprise Agent Identity Control Plane.”
Advanced AI Agent Security and Compliance
Veza strengthened protection for OpenAI Agent Platform, Claude Code, and MCP servers. Gartner states, “Through 2028, over 50% of AI initiatives will halt, becoming unmanageable, because of unresolved agentic identity challenges.” Veza expanded tool discovery, introduced Suggested Owner Agent, enabled blast radius visualization, enhanced AISPM alignment with NIST AIRMF, and launched centralized dashboards.
