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.

The Key to Enhanced Security? Fixing Data Upstream
Managing security data at scale has been the dream of most security leaders. Attempts at making this dream come true have involved investing in security information and event management (SIEM) solutions to collect and analyze log and event data, deploying security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) solutions, or running AI/ML algorithms on top of data to try to develop answers and respond to key security or compliance questions faster.
But alas… the siloed security data created by the tools commonly found in a security operations center (SOC) remains difficult to wrangle and extract meaningful insights from. If only something could be done to truly integrate and clean up all that security data.
A security data lake is a big step in this direction.
In this article, Comcast Technology Solutions' DataBee business leader Nicole Bucala outlines specific steps security leaders can take to improve the quality of an organization’s underlying data set and develop a better strategy for managing security data at scale.

Security data lakes and the future of organizational security
Evolving technological advancements have created a far more data-centric world. This has dramatically changed the enterprise landscape, while also creating more data silos.
The explosion of cybersecurity tools and mounds of data in modern enterprises have made it difficult to combine data to create a unified view. This has resulted in siloed data that’s also costly to store, analyze, and quickly present. In addition, it creates a dangerous division of knowledge that can prevent security teams from spotting threats.

Empowering Diversity: Recognizing the Importance of Women in Engineering and Cybersecurity
The importance of women in engineering (beyond #WomeninEngineeringDay), particularly in the field of cybersecurity, cannot be overstated. Diversity and inclusion are essential for driving innovation, fostering creativity, and solving complex problems effectively. In the traditionally male-dominated field of engineering, women bring unique perspectives, experiences, and skills that enrich the industry and contribute to its advancement. By encouraging and supporting more women to pursue careers in engineering, we can tap into a vast talent pool and bridge the gender gap that has persisted for far too long.
