DataBee, from Comcast Technology Solutions, introduces a gen AI powered chatbot to tackle the challenge of finding and validating asset owners
PHILADELPHIA, July 30, 2024 — DataBee™, from Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS), today announced a new generative AI-based chatbot called BeeKeeper AI™, which automatically finds and validates asset owners, closing security and compliance gaps caused by unknown or orphaned assets. Powered by Comcast’s patent-pending entity resolution technology, BeeKeeper AI is now part of DataBee for Security Hygiene, which works on top of the DataBee Hive™ security, risk and compliance data fabric platform to improve security hygiene through automated asset and owner discovery.
BeeKeeper AI uses gen AI to validate asset ownership via automated chat. DataBee for Security Hygiene makes predictions about asset ownership by analyzing who might own the asset and how the asset is engaged. Then BeeKeeper AI automatically reaches out to predicted users to verify asset information and ownership using the organization’s chat client. Unknown or orphaned assets or devices can have significant security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps, so matching up users with devices is critical to closing those gaps and to an organization’s overall security and asset hygiene.
“BeeKeeper AI is an excellent example of the responsible use of generative AI for cybersecurity,” said Scott Miserendino, Vice President of Advanced Cybersecurity Solutions, DataBee. “Because it’s working from a dataset that’s been cleaned and optimized by DataBee within a contained environment, BeeKeeper AI is powered by high quality, complete data and there are proper guardrails around its use and output. We’re looking forward to extending this gen AI chatbot capability to other security challenges over time.”
BeeKeeper AI uses a large language model (LLM) to support chat conversations with potential asset owners, engaging them via Microsoft Teams to ask the question, ‘are you the owner of this device?’. Depending on the answer, BeeKeeper AI can continue its quest—even handling odd-ball responses—until it finds and validates the asset owner. No manual effort is involved in any of this process.
“BeeKeeper AI gives valuable time back to IT, operations, security and compliance teams -- time that would otherwise be spent trying to locate and validate owners of unclaimed devices,” added Nicole Bucala, Vice President and General Manager of DataBee. “Our customers can keep these valuable people resources focused on what matters most and let BeeKeeper AI do the laborious work required to connect the dots between unclaimed assets and their proper owners.”
BeeKeeper AI is available for Private Preview with Microsoft Teams starting the first week of August 2024 and is estimated to be generally available as part of the DataBee Hive suite of offerings in September.
You can learn more about DataBee and all of its products and solutions at the Black Hat USA 2024 conference on August 7 and 8 in booth #4540, or request a meeting with one of our experts during the show.

“This new partnership brings together a powerful combination of leaders at the forefront of cybersecurity protections for critical infrastructure and driving innovation in the marketplace. We look forward to working together with Comcast Technology Solutions, Comcast Ventures, and DataBee to advance cybersecurity innovation in the marketplace and make a difference together in securing our world for tomorrow,” said Dave DeWalt, CEO and Founder, NightDragon.

Amy De Salvatore, Partner, NightDragon said, “Comcast is a strong innovator, and this is a unique partnership in that they are a telecom provider, which is different from other strategic partnerships that fall under our NightScale platform and provide value to our portfolio companies. This partnership will be a powerful way for both of our companies to place greater focus and energy on innovation, as well as advance critical technologies like DataBee, which is revolutionizing how we manage and secure data.”
This partnership expands NightDragon's capabilities under its ND Go-to-Market business unit, a dedicated set of playbooks, programs, and partnerships in its proprietary NightScale platform to help accelerate its portfolio's go-to-market capabilities.
