Fuel Innovation
Venafi seeks innovators that identify and develop new design patterns, find novel ways of solving problems and build new business models. If you’re a startup, consultancy, leading tech company or even an individual that creates solutions that perform or make use of machine identity management, we want to innovate with you.
Opensource Developers
Individual developers (IndieDevs) make a unique contribution to the open-source community and will provide Venafi customers with cutting edge solutions in the machine identity management space. An IndieDev can belong to an organization with the exception of Venafi competitors, but the contract is between Venafi and the individual.
World's Leading Universities
Venafi currently partners with technology centers in Oxford University and Carnegie Mellon University to investigate and identify machine identity management problems in the future and create new open source solutions that benefit all that rely on machine identities. We'd love to innovate with your research institution, too!
"Machine identities are quickly growing in importance in the digital world, as they underpin all machine-to-machine communications and online transactions. This is an important area to explore and research, as machine identities are likely to be even more critical to the digital economy than human identities in the near future"
