Veza Unveils New NHI Security Product to Tackle the Fastest-Growing Risk in Identity Security in the AI Era
As enterprises rush to adopt AI, they're unleashing a flood of machine identities faster than anyone can control. Every model, training run, and inference call spins up new credentials that access sensitive data and systems. These AI workloads don't just add scale, they introduce chaos. Machine identities now outnumber humans 17 to 1, and most are invisible, ownerless, and dangerously overprivileged. They're powering core business processes, yet flying completely under the radar. Worse, threat actors like Volt Typhoon are deliberately targeting identity as their primary attack surface.
Veza brings order to this chaos by giving organizations a structured, automated way to discover, govern, and lock down NHIs—with the same rigor applied to humans. From visibility to ownership to least privilege, Veza puts security back in control of the machines that now run your business. Veza's NHI adoption is surging because enterprises aren't waiting to become the next headline. The risk is real, the sprawl is unchecked, and the only way forward is to act now.
'Non-human identities in our Azure estate—service principals, managed identities, and the secrets that support our custom applications—have been a blind spot," said Lena Taylor, VP, Chief Information Security Officer at Crocs. "As we roll out Veza, we will have a single, centralized view to discover, monitor, and govern these machine identities. The ability to assign clear ownership, surface risk, and enforce least-privilege across Azure is already reshaping how we approach identity security, and we're excited to see the full impact as deployment continues.'
Now available in the Veza Access platform, Veza NHI Security product provides a purpose-built product offering for machine identities—backed by deep analytics, full lifecycle insights, and automation integrated with Veza's platform. Highlights include:
Comprehensive NHI Discovery and Visibility: Easily access the new NHI Security module in Veza to view a unified inventory of NHIs, including AWS EC2 instances, Azure VMs, GCP clusters, Entra ID service principals, Okta, Salesforce, HashiCorp, and many more. Veza automatically classifies NHIs using advanced logic and lets you refine via enrichment rules to fit your environment.
Automated Risk Detection and Mitigation: Pre-built access risk dashboards highlight critical risks such as dormant keys, unrotated secrets, orphaned accounts, and NHIs with excessive permissions. Drill down into key and secret metadata—like last used, rotation status, and active state—across systems like AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault, GitHub, and Salesforce.
Human to Non-Human Ownership Management: Get real-time alerts when an NHI becomes orphaned or its human owner leaves the org. Veza suggests a new owner based on access intelligence and allows you to reassign with a single click. Use Veza Enrichment Rules for advanced use cases (e.g. workload identity, ephemeral instances, non-human to non-human, etc.).
Integrated Compliance Control: Maintain compliance with automated tracking of NHI ownership, credential hygiene, and least privilege enforcement—backed by Access Graph visualizations and risk scoring for every non-human identity.
With Veza's new NHI capabilities, customers:
Improve Security: Eliminate dormant accounts, detect unknown access paths, and reduce the blast radius of potential breaches.
Reduce Risk and Compliance Gaps: Prove key rotation and least privilege enforcement for machines and workloads.
Eliminate Access Uncertainty: Understand the true scale of your NHI footprint—even when machine identities masquerade as human users.
'NHI discovery and lifecycle are mission-critical use cases for enterprises operating in the real world of cloud, identity complexity, and Agentic AI adoption,' said Tarun Thakur, CEO and Co-Founder of Veza. 'NHI Security isn't actually an identity in your directory services, the machine identities are everywhere across SaaS, databases, cloud, disconnected systems, and now AI apps. Veza is delivering the next-gen identity platform designed on the permissions and entitlements metadata to help organizations achieve least privilege at scale as the foundation to Zero Trust.'

Fireflies Becomes First AI Meeting Tool in Claude's MCP Directory
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- the #1 AI teammate for meetings, today announced it has become the first AI meeting tool officially listed in Anthropic's Claude Connectors Directory. Now out of beta, the Fireflies MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector enables teams to instantly connect their meeting data to Claude with one click—no engineering required. "Fireflies' MCP integration with Claude has quickly become a core element of my workflow. It helps me show up to every customer conversation prepared, send sharper follow-ups, and stay on top of context across long engagements." - MJ Mowrer, LlamaIndex The integration transforms how teams extract value from their conversations. Instead of manually searching through meeting notes or recordings, users can now ask Claude questions like "What were the common objections in our enterprise deals last quarter?" or "Which product features did customers request most often?" and receive immediate, actionable answers. "Meeting data has always been one of the richest sources of business intelligence, but it's been trapped in silos and difficult to analyze at scale," said Krish Ramineni, CEO and co-founder of Fireflies. "With our MCP connector, we're making it possible for anyone to unlock insights from their conversations in seconds. You don't need to be technical—you just need to know what questions to ask." Strong early adoption signals market demand During the beta period that began June 25, Fireflies saw significant engagement: 55% of users returned for multiple sessions, with usage growing 20% week-over-week. Teams across sales, product, and customer success discovered new ways to leverage their meeting intelligence: Sales teams analyze objection patterns across deals to refine their pitch strategies Product managers instantly identify feature requests across dozens of customer calls Customer success teams spot satisfaction concerns before they escalate Leadership teams track decision-making and project progress across distributed teams "We've used call-recording services for years, but Fireflies is the first to give us access to the gold in the calls via a third-party AI platform," says Jeff Hardison, CRO at CaseMark. "Now, we can use Claude to ask questions about customer remarks made in calls and then cross-reference that call data with our CRM and product-usage data to gain more context. This infuses the voice of the customer into marketing, sales, customer success, and product management more sensibly." MJ Mowrer, Founding Account Executive at LlamaIndex, says, "Fireflies' MCP integration with Claude has quickly become a core element of my workflow. It helps me show up to every customer conversation prepared, send sharper follow-ups, and stay on top of context across long engagements. That consistency accelerates deal progression and allows me to focus more on thoughtful, strategic work instead of digging through call transcripts or notes." Enterprise-ready privacy protections Unlike other AI notetaker solutions, Fireflies has never trained its AI models on customer meeting data—a commitment that extends to the MCP integration. Claude and Anthropic will not use meeting transcripts to train their AI models, ensuring conversations remain private. The connector also respects Fireflies' existing permission controls, so users only access meetings they're authorized to view. This enterprise-grade approach enables powerful AI analysis while maintaining the security and privacy standards that organizations require. Available now across Claude platforms The Fireflies MCP connector is available immediately to all Fireflies users with a paid Claude subscription (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). Setup takes less than a minute. After signing into your Claude account: Go to the Settings menu and click the 'Connectors' tab. Click 'Browse Connectors' to see the full list of available connectors. Select Fireflies from the list. Click 'Connect' and follow the prompts to authorize your connection. The connector works across Claude Web, Desktop, and Mobile applications, as well as Claude Code for developers building custom workflows. Expanding beyond Claude: ChatGPT and Devin integrations Fireflies is extending its reach across the AI ecosystem. The company has launched a beta integration with ChatGPT, bringing the same meeting intelligence capabilities to OpenAI's platform. Additionally, Fireflies has become the first meeting tool available on Devin, the AI software engineer. The Devin integration opens new possibilities for technical teams. When product managers discuss features and implementation details in meetings, Devin can directly reference those conversations while coding—ensuring that what gets built aligns perfectly with what was discussed. Teams can also query their meeting history directly from Slack or within Devin, asking questions like "What technical requirements were discussed for the new API?" or "What were the security concerns raised in last week's architecture review?" "We're committed to making meeting intelligence available wherever teams work," said Ramineni. "Whether you're using Claude for research, ChatGPT for content creation, or Devin for engineering—your meeting insights should follow you." About helps millions of people unlock the knowledge buried inside conversations every day. Serving 20+ million people and 500,000+ organizations, Fireflies has processed over 2 billion meeting minutes with users at 75% of Fortune 500 companies. The platform provides enterprise-grade security with private storage options and never uses customer meeting data to train its AI models. Backed by Khosla Ventures and Canaan Partners, is a remote-first, global organization employing 100 people across 20+ countries. For more information, visit
