SYDNEY, Australia – November 9, 2020 – Venafi^®, the inventor and leading provider of machine identity management, today announced its Machine Identity Management Development Fund has directly sponsored Reveal Group to build robotic process automation (RPA) tools for Venafi platform users. Reveal Group, an international leader in Intelligent Automation services, provides users with the ability to reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks and allows them to automate their certificate workflows on the Venafi Platform.

As organizations use more machine identities, security teams must accelerate and use resources efficiently. To eliminate time spent on repetitive tasks, Reveal Group has built solution packages for Blue Prism and UiPath, the most popular RPA platforms used by Venafi customers. Both solutions give users the ability to automate their workflow quickly and efficiently, actioning pending certificates on the Venafi Platform without error or delay.

“Digital transformation is driving an explosion in the number of machine identities on enterprise networks because these initiatives require a host of new cloud, hybrid, and microservice applications for every new business application,” said Kevin Bocek, VP Ecosystem and Threat Intelligence for Venafi. “Our mutual customers are looking for more ways to automate machine identity processes so they can eliminate the errors that cause certificate outages and meet new business demands for scalability.”

Reveal Group’s RPA assets are a part of Venafi’s $12 million development fund, a global initiative designed to increase the visibility, intelligence and automation required for machine identity management across enterprise networks

“The majority of Global 5000 organizations are already using Blue Prism and UiPath as their RPA solutions of choice. Reveal Group approached the project of building connectors to the Venafi Platform, knowing we had open APIs that could make a huge impact to Venafi users,” Jacko Smit, Reveal Group Principal commented. “This was the obvious approach in making it easy for Venafi customers who already use RPA to further automate their processes around the Venafi Platform.”

“RPA gives security teams a powerful tool to automate machine identity management across complex business processes relying on systems from ServiceNow to SAP,” continued Bocek. “Reveal Group is the leader in RPA bot development and brings extensive experience helping the world’s largest financial institutions accelerate business to the Venafi ecosystem. We’re excited to have them as a partner.”

Venafi’s Machine Identity Management Development Fund empowers developers to build a wide range of integrations that ensure the keys and certificates that serve as machine identities are protected in the Venafi Platform. The Fund sponsors a wide range of developers, including consultants, systems integrators, fast-moving startups, open-source developers and other cybersecurity vendors.

Fund partners build integrations that deliver greater visibility, intelligence and automation for machine identities created or consumed by enterprise applications and devices including, but not limited to; cloud, DevOps, IoT, containers, service mesh, code signing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, SSH and big data analytics.
