Akeyless Partners with VAST Cosmos for Enhanced Security in AI Production Systems
Akeyless has recently made a significant move by joining the VAST Cosmos Community, a prestigious global network of innovators and experts dedicated to evolving artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. As part of this partnership, Akeyless introduces enhanced security mechanisms for production AI infrastructures by integrating its identity security platform with the VAST AI Operating System.
In an era where enterprises actively seek efficient ways to deploy production AI, Akeyless stands out with its comprehensive solution tailored for safety and reliability. According to John Mao, VAST Data’s Vice President of Global Technology Alliances, organizations are in need of trustworthy integrations to ensure seamless AI deployment. The collaboration between Akeyless and VAST Data aims to fulfill this demand by offering validated integrations designed minimize risks during implementation, ultimately expediting secure AI deployment from the data handling stages to application functionalities.
Oded Hareven, the CEO and co-founder of Akeyless, emphasized the necessity of a security-first approach in AI infrastructures. He stated that merging their zero-knowledge identity security framework with the VAST AI Operating System allows companies to safeguard their encryption keys, secrets, and machine identities without compromising performance. This not only elevates security but also empowers organizations to leverage AI confidently knowing that security measures keep pace with performance requirements.
This innovative integration secures VAST AI OS environments by optimizing zero-knowledge secrets and encryption management in alignment with VAST's Disaggregated, Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture. The solution employs native KMIP-based key management alongside stateless, distributed gateways, which ensure that encryption processes and identity controls function alongside computational and data infrastructures, thus maintaining performance during extensive AI workload operations.
By utilizing Akeyless's Distributed Fragments Cryptography™ (DFC) in conjunction with VAST's unified data platform, companies can expect numerous benefits. These benefits include:
- - Accelerated secure deployment of AI training, inference, and analytics pipelines.
- - Customer-controlled ownership of encryption keys backed by zero-knowledge assurance.
- - Elimination of centralized vault bottlenecks in environments with high concurrency.
- - Enforcement of robust, scalable access controls across shared-everything architectures.
These advanced features are already facilitating demanding AI ecosystems within enterprise deployments operating at production scale. With Akeyless at the forefront of securing impending AI transformations, the partnership with VAST Data serves as a beacon for organizations eager to fortify their AI infrastructures without sacrificing performance.
