Organizations everywhere are grappling with how to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) without exposing themselves to increased risk of threats to privacy and intellectual property. But there is no single approach that will ensure far-reaching results. In that sense, AI is like branding. To be successful, it has to permeate the ethos of the entire organization, and everyone on the team plays a role in that.
To demonstrate our commitment to AI innovation at the deepest levels, Venafi recently conducted an exercise to make every employee a stakeholder in the move to embrace AI across the organization.
In July of this year, Venafi ran an innovation challenge, where cross-functional team members joined project teams that defined and built out new ways of harnessing AI, and various efforts permeated every element of the business. The level of overall engagement was amazing. And the results were phenomenal. In fact, one of the outcomes of that challenge was so well developed that it has become the basis of a new enhancement to the industry leading Venafi Control Plane for Machine Identities.
The result of Venafi’s commitment to innovation was Venafi Athena, which leverages the power of generative AI and machine learning to deliver the industry’s first intelligent machine identity management capabilities. This new underpinning AI technology for the Venafi Control Plane is made possible only by Venafi’s modern software-as-a-service architecture, which is itself built on decades of in-depth expertise and innovation.
Harness the power of AI to slay machine identity complexity in seconds
Venafi Athena combines the powers of machine learning, large language models and Venafi’s industry-leading data capabilities to make machine identity security easier and faster in a world where managing machine identities is increasingly complex. As such, Venafi Athena provides a fast, easy and integrated way to solve even the most challenging problems. Designed to fight machine identity complexity, Venafi Athena equips security and platform teams with everything from practical advice to optimization tips and integration code.
Venafi Athena leverages generative AI and machine learning capabilities to help teams solve machine identity management problems in seconds. This new technology operates across the Venafi Control Plane and its integrated ecosystem—and features three core AI/ML capabilities built for three distinct audiences.
Venafi Athena for security teams
As the volume of machine identities explodes in today’s cloud native, multi-cloud world, security teams need to be able to make rapid, intelligent and informed management and security decisions. By identifying trends and providing suggestions through a straightforward chat interface, Venafi Athena can help security teams easily and intuitively get started, identify improvements and perform complex tasks.
This functionality is available NOW. Get to know Venafi Athena today.
Venafi Athena for developers
Modern machine identity management requires integrated infrastructure-as-code and cloud native capabilities. Venafi Athena simplifies the automation of machine identity operations by generating and suggesting complete code recipes. Venafi Athena’s AI engine is trained across the Venafi ecosystem, multiple development languages like Go, Python and PowerShell, and industry-standard solutions like Red Hat’s Ansible Collection for Venafi and HashiCorp’s Terraform Provider for Venafi.
This exciting functionality will be available on Dev Central, Venafi’s new developer experience for the Venafi Control Plane, in 2024.
Venafi Athena for the community
Venafi, the world leader in open source machine identity management, now offers an experimental laboratory to provide early access to innovative generative AI and machine identity data capabilities. Venafi Athena makes it easy to explore code samples and data with pre-identified features for machine learning on GitHub and Hugging Face.
Plus, we’re launching an all-new project that completely redefines reporting and answers for machine identity management problems. This is available today with code examples and data with pre-identified features for machine learning on GitHub and Hugging Face.
The Generative AI Identity Crisis: Emerging AI Threatscapes and Mitigations
Modern solutions for modern environments
Venafi Athena is just the latest of many ground-breaking innovations that Venafi has produced over the past several years. That being said, it’s completely consistent with the Venafi commitment to futureproofing machine identity management to meet the challenges of modern environments and evolving business models.
As the next step in our extensive track record of innovation, Venafi Athena harnesses Venafi’s modern software-as-a-service architecture together with the latest generative AI technology to deliver powerful new intelligence that enables security and platform teams to be successful in their machine identity management programs.
Shivajee Samdarshi, Chief Product Officer at Venafi, notes, “Machine identity management is complex and challenging, particularly as we move towards a cloud native future. Modern enterprises require a fast, easy and integrated way to tackle these complex machine identity management problems. The power of generative AI and machine learning makes this possible today.
