Veza Lands $108M Series D to Pioneer Identity-First Security Through AI Access Control

Veza, the identity security platform redefining access control for modern enterprises, has secured $108 million in Series D funding led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), with new backing from Atlassian Ventures, Workday Ventures, and Snowflake Ventures. Existing investors including Accel, GV, and Blackstone Innovations also participated, bringing Veza’s total funding to $235 million. 

CEO Tarun Thakur said identity has become the front line of cybersecurity and that Veza’s AI-driven platform replaces outdated models by unifying access visibility, entitlements, and permissions. 

Already trusted by global companies like Blackstone, Workday, and Snowflake, Veza will use the new capital to scale go-to-market efforts and expand its identity-first security platform globally amid rising threats and increasingly complex digital environments.
