Veza, the leader in access-based identity security, announced its inclusion in the 2026 Fortune Cyber 60, marking the company’s third straight year on the prestigious list of the most influential private cybersecurity innovators shaping the future of enterprise security.
Compiled in collaboration with Lightspeed Venture Partners (LSVP), the Fortune Cyber 60 recognizes standout private cybersecurity companies that demonstrate exceptional growth, technical innovation, enterprise adoption, and market leadership. Veza’s continued recognition underscores its pivotal role in advancing access-centric identity security as a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity programs.

At the heart of Veza’s approach is its groundbreaking Access Graph — the industry’s first architecture designed to deliver real-time insight into who can perform what action on which data across every identity type, whether human, machine, or AI-driven. This innovation aligns closely with Fortune Cyber 60’s key investment themes, including identity security, Zero Trust frameworks, cloud protection, and safeguarding AI ecosystems.
“Controlling access to data across every system is now the top cybersecurity priority for organizations worldwide,” said Tarun Thakur, Co-Founder and CEO of Veza. “The foundation of the least privilege principle lies in truly understanding permissions and entitlements — they represent identity in its purest form. To manage identity risks effectively, enterprises must gain visibility into permissions at scale across all environments. Our recognition on the Fortune Cyber 60 for three consecutive years validates the growing adoption of the Access Graph as the backbone of next-generation identity security architectures.”

Veza’s platform integrates seamlessly with leading enterprise environments across identity, cloud, SaaS, AI, and data ecosystems—including Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Snowflake, Salesforce, ServiceNow, GitHub, and more than 300 additional enterprise platforms.
Global enterprises and Fortune 500 organizations rely on Veza to identify and remediate least privilege violations, such as excessive permissions, inactive or dormant accounts, non-human identity risks, SaaS access exposure, and compliance challenges tied to AI governance and next-generation Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) initiatives.
Veza’s impact and thought leadership have also been recognized by Gartner, Inc., which named the company as an Identity Visibility & Intelligence Platform (IVIP) and referenced its capabilities across multiple research reports related to Identity-First Security, Zero Trust, and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM).
As identity-related attacks and over-permissioned access emerge as the #1 cybersecurity risk, Veza continues to define how organizations secure data access across increasingly complex digital ecosystems — reinforcing its leadership as the foundation of a secure, least-privilege enterprise.
