Veza, the identity security company, announced today that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Veza to its 2024 Stellar Startups list in the Security category. This prestigious list highlights innovative technology vendors whose unique solutions drive growth in the IT channel.

Veza’s Access Platform is the only centralized identity solution that provides customers with full access visibility and access intelligence across the enterprise. By equipping security and identity teams with the ability to see who can perform what actions on data across all systems and applications, Veza empowers organizations to achieve and sustain least privilege. By understanding access permissions across the entire enterprise landscape—including SaaS applications, data systems, custom applications, and cloud infrastructure—Veza helps organizations like Blackstone, Expedia, and Wynn Resorts address the most critical identity security use cases including: next-gen IGA, PAM for SaaS apps, PAM for Cloud systems, SaaS security, and Non-Human Identity (NHI) security.

Each technology vendor included on the CRN 2024 Stellar Startups list stands out for its dedication to innovation. Companies recognized as CRN Stellar Startups must be six years old or younger, and they are selected across categories that include artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), big data, business applications, cloud, data center, Internet of Things (IoT), networking/unified communications, security and storage. This annual list serves as an invaluable resource for solution providers making business-critical strategic decisions and exploring new technologies and services to add to their portfolios to give them the competitive advantage and drive success.

“We’re thrilled to congratulate the innovative companies named to this year’s Stellar Startups list,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President of U.S. Content and Executive Editor of CRN at The Channel Company. “This achievement reflects each organizations’ dedication to solving IT channel challenges, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with leading-edge technologies, and contributing to the success of their partners. We look forward to seeing how they continue to transform the industry going forward.”

"Identity is the fastest-growing threat vector for organizations worldwide, and most identity security solutions share a critical flaw—they were all built on directory services and lack understanding of the true permissions and entitlements that dictate what actions identities can take on what data,” says Veza’s Co-Founder & CEO, Tarun Thakur. “Veza’s Access Platform goes beyond traditional IGA, PAM and IAM tools to unify access permissions data from every application and system across the enterprise, allowing organizations to find and fix over-permissioning and control access for any identity. This one-platform approach enables our customers to achieve the principle of least privilege and reduce their identity attack surface.”

The CRN 2024 Stellar Startups list will be featured in the December 2024 issue of CRN Magazine and is currently available online at CRN.com/StellarStartups.
