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.
Comcast Technology Solutions and Comcast Ventures will benefit from early access and exposure to the latest innovations within the NightDragon portfolio, including leading cybersecurity, safety, security, and privacy technologies. Synergies identified between Comcast Technology Solutions and NightDragon portfolio companies will allow each party a fresh look at protecting critical infrastructure and driving innovation in the marketplace.
“Innovation and investments in technology, infrastructure and cybersecurity are top priorities at Comcast Technology Solutions, as we’ve evidenced most recently with the creation of the DataBee business and security data fabric platform. Partnering with NightDragon and its portfolio companies offers us a valuable opportunity to get a first view into cutting-edge technologies that can best serve our customers and secure critical infrastructure,” said Ken Klaer, President, Comcast Technology Solutions, and Executive Vice President, Comcast Cable.
Additionally, DataBee, from Comcast Technology Solutions, will benefit from access to NightDragon’s NightScale platform, which helps accelerate growth for leading innovators through access to proprietary playbooks, people, partnerships and programs, and the firm’s Advisory Council of 100+ top cybersecurity and technology leaders. DataBee is a security, risk, and compliance data fabric platform that helps drive smarter decisions with analysis-ready datasets and an evidence-centric approach to security data.
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.

Comcast takes its cybersecurity data fabric public with AWS, Snowflake
Comcast likes its internally-developed cybersecurity data fabric so much that it thinks other Fortune 500 companies will want to use it too. So, it’s teamed with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Snowflake to get the hosting, storage and compute power it needs to transform the fabric into a commercial offering, which it calls DataBee™.
While Comcast is well-known as a cable operator, the company also has a Technology Solutions (CTS) unit charged with bringing its top-tier internal solutions to market. In the past, these have included telecom, media and advertising products. DataBee is the first product to come out of CTS’ new cybersecurity division, which was formed in the fall of 2022.
