Designed for hybrid multi-cloud environments, Veza enables users to easily understand, manage and control who can and should take what action on what data. Veza solves the toughest identity security challenges enterprises face today by visualizing an authorization metadata graph across identity providers, Cloud IAM solutions, data systems, and SaaS and custom applications. This empowers customers to leverage the power of authorization for an identity-first approach to securing enterprise data, addressing critical business needs tied to access governance, data lake security and governance, cloud entitlements management, privileged access management, and many more.  Global enterprises like Blackstone, Intuit, Wynn Resorts, Choice Hotels, and a number of Fortune 500 and emerging organizations trust Veza for their use cases to secure data. Founded in 2020, Veza is headquartered in Los Gatos, California and is funded by Accel, Bain Capital, Ballistic Ventures, GV, and Norwest Venture Partners.

When employees leave your organization, how sure are you that they are actually gone?

It’s easy to deactivate in AD or SSO, but that doesn’t percolate down to hundreds of apps and systems. Incomplete deactivation and removal of your departed employees’ access creates risk that is difficult to see—and may linger indefinitely.

Without a clear view into who has access to what, you can’t even assess this risk. Especially with larger reductions in force, hundreds or thousands of employees may need deactivation. What can organizations do to protect themselves and minimize the risks of incomplete deactivation?

Don’t leave a backdoor open for insider threats.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

The different types of access and threat vectors exposed during deactivation
How apps and cloud systems add complexity (Salesforce, Github, Snowflake, AWS IAM)
How organizations use continuous monitoring to eliminate hidden access and reduce risk of abuse

When Employees Depart: Ensuring Access to Sensitive Data is Removed

While there are many benefits to SaaS apps like Salesforce, those SaaS apps present a new attack surface that is vulnerable to bad actors, creating new avenues for phishing, credential theft, ransomware, and insider threats.

Neither security nor IT teams can see the true state of permissions. Nobody can answer “who can do what with your data?”  

In addition, identity reports also miss local users (or local admins!) leading to new risks—compliance, regulatory, and exposure to bad actors. As SaaS adoption grows, the attack surface expands. 

Join us for an informative webinar on how to reduce your SaaS exposure around improperly managed local accounts and permissions.

In this webinar, experts from Veza will explain:

- How to reduce risk as your investment in SaaS increases.
- How to do compliance audits for SaaS access.
- How to thwart and mitigate the “blast radius” from Insider attacks.

Join us and learn how to secure data in your SaaS apps while automating the work of access reviews and compliance, putting data security back within reach.

Securing Access to Data in SaaS Apps

Data breaches continue to rise yearly; the US reported 1800 breaches in 2022. Many enterprises are turning to Zero Trust to combat these risks to protect their organization from the never-ending barrage of attacks, ransomware, phishing, or password theft. During this conversation, we will discuss why Zero Trust is important and what it will take for companies to make Zero Trust actionable.
