Veza vs. Stack Identity

As data is reconstructed for cloud environments, the understanding of identity has transformed, now including not only individual users but also service accounts and various principals. In this framework, authorization stands out as the truest embodiment of identity. The intricacies of a multi-cloud environment demand a forward-thinking and flexible approach to effectively protect enterprise data. Veza distinguishes itself by offering a comprehensive view of authorization across the entire identity-to-data continuum. Functioning as a cloud-native, agentless solution, it ensures that data remains both secure and accessible without adding extra risks. With Veza, the process of managing authorization in your extensive cloud ecosystem becomes streamlined, enabling users to share their data securely. Furthermore, Veza is built to seamlessly integrate with essential systems from the beginning, encompassing both unstructured and structured data systems, data lakes, cloud IAM, and various applications, while also allowing for the incorporation of custom applications through its Open Authorization API. This adaptability not only boosts security but also cultivates a collaborative atmosphere where data can be shared effectively across diverse platforms. With its innovative approach, Veza is poised to redefine how organizations handle data security in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

We identify, remove, and oversee shadow access, which is unauthorized and unmonitored entry into cloud data, applications, and infrastructure, thereby preventing potential attackers from taking advantage of these security gaps. By implementing an automated and risk-oriented approach, we transform cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) practices, ensuring effective protection and oversight of cloud data. This methodology allows cloud and security teams to promptly evaluate all data access behaviors, detailing who accesses the data, the nature of the access, the timing and location of these actions, and the rationale behind them, as well as their implications for cloud data security. Stack Identity protects cloud data by focusing on the risks and consequences linked to identity, access, and data vulnerabilities, all of which are captured in our real-time data attack map. We play a critical role in mitigating various access risks—whether stemming from human actions or APIs—while guiding identity practitioners, governance and compliance teams, and data stewards to take proactive measures. Furthermore, we provide SecOps and DevOps teams with a straightforward view of cloud security threats, empowering them to make well-informed decisions about data protection strategies. Ultimately, our all-encompassing strategy not only bolsters security but also promotes a forward-thinking culture of compliance and risk management across organizations, leading to more resilient cloud environments. By continuously enhancing our services, we aim to stay ahead of evolving threats and support our clients in navigating the complexities of cloud security.
