ServiceNow's Acquisition of NHI Provider Veza Strengthens Governance Portfolio

ServiceNow announced plans to acquire Veza (reported at roughly $1 billion) to integrate Veza's Access Graph into ServiceNow's ITSM, HR, and customer service workflows, aiming to centralize management and governance of nonhuman identities (agents, API keys, tokens). The move is presented as strengthening identity security and enabling visibility and control over machine permissions across the platform, aligning with wider industry shifts toward agentic AI security and consolidation in the identity/privileged access market.
