White Paper Veza Use Cases Veza is built for the messy reality of enterprise identity. Thousands of systems, millions of permissions, cloud and SaaS exploding, non -human and AI agent identities are multiplying faster than humans. These are the scenarios where Intelligent Access proves itself — where principles turn into practice, and risk becomes governable. White Paper 2 Identity is now the true perimeter. But posture across thousands of systems, millions of entitlements, and multiple identity sources is too complex for manual scorecards. Without continuous visibility, dormant accounts, policy drift, and ungoverned NHIs become inevitable. Veza’s ISPM makes identity posture measurable and actionable. It unifies all identities in the Access Graph, assigning risk scores across SaaS, data, and cloud IAM. Over - permitted root accounts, unused IAM roles, and risky cross -account trusts are surfaced with the same visibility as workforce and SaaS identities, driving remediation through consistent policy enforcement. Reporting is audit -ready, with full traceability. Explore the ISPM use case for details on how Veza helps reduce posture risk. The outcome is proactive identity defense. Instead of waiting for a breach or an audit to expose gaps, ISPM continuously surfaces and closes them. Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) White Paper 3 Privileged users remain the crown jewels for attackers. Yet most organizations still cannot answer clearly: who are my admins, and what can they really do? Guest accounts promoted to admin, forgotten local users in SaaS tenants, contractors left with standing rights, and over -permitted cloud IAM roles are all well -worn breach stories. Legacy PAM and IGA tools show fragments, not the full picture. Veza unifies privileged access across SaaS, cloud, data, and on -prem into one graph. It reveals the blast radius for each identity, including federated identities assuming AWS, GCP, and Azure IAM roles, traces how permissions were inherited, and flags dormant or misconfigured accounts before they become incidents. Where PAM governs how elevated credentials are issued and used, Privileged Access Monitoring shows the effective permissions those identities actually hold, so you can see and shrink risk in real time. If you are modernizing beyond vaults and break -glass accounts, start with Veza to pair continuous entitlement truth with your PAM stack. The result is confidence. Compliance teams meet SOX and SOC 2 audits with evidence, not scrambling. Security teams enforce least privilege in practice, cutting down the blast radius of inevitable compromise. Privileged Access Monitoring White Paper 4 Every SaaS app brings its own permission model, MFA requirements, and account sprawl. Guest users and local admins proliferate. Inactive identities sit with standing access. SaaS quickly becomes the weak link in the access chain. Veza consolidates SaaS visibility into one graph, surfacing risky local accounts, inactive privileged users, and weak MFA configurations. Automated scans highlight deviations. Access Profiles keep SaaS requests consistent with enterprise policy. With these controls, SaaS stops being a blind spot and starts being governed. SaaS Access Security & Governance White Paper 5 The most sensitive data is often in the least governed places: data lakes, ML datasets, shared drives, and cloud storage. These systems grow quickly, permissions spread faster, and classification rules lag. The result is over -exposed data and audit risk. Veza connects to classification and tagging tools so data sensitivity shows up in queries. It monitors unstructured systems continuously, flags external access to sensitive datasets, and generates “blast radius” maps whenever broad entitlements expose PCI or PII. With Enrichment Rules, metadata flows directly into dashboards and reviews, so teams can act on context, not just raw permissions.
