Akeyless and VAST Data are addressing the growing need for trusted, high-performance security in AI deployments. Enterprises require consistent ways to operationalize production AI while minimizing integration risks. This collaboration expands the VAST Cosmos ecosystem with proven identity security solutions tailored for AI infrastructure.
"Enterprises are looking for a simpler, more consistent way to deploy production AI backed by validated integrations they can trust," said John Mao, Vice President, Global Technology Alliances at VAST Data. "We're proud to welcome Akeyless into the Cosmos Community , expanding the ecosystem of industry-leading solutions built on the VAST AI Operating System and helping customers reduce integration risk while accelerating secure AI deployment from the data path to the application layer."
The integration leverages Akeyless's zero-knowledge approach to protect encryption keys, secrets, and machine identities. It operates without introducing latency, ensuring security scales with AI performance demands.
"AI infrastructure must be both high-performance and secure by design," said Oded Hareven, Co-Founder and CEO of Akeyless. "By aligning our zero-knowledge identity security platform with the VAST AI Operating System, we enable organizations to protect encryption keys, secrets, and machine identities without introducing latency or operational bottlenecks. Customers can operationalize AI with confidence, knowing security scales alongside performance."
Key technical alignment includes Akeyless's Distributed Fragments Cryptography™ (DFC) combined with VAST's unified data platform. Native KMIP-based key management and stateless distributed gateways enable encryption and identity controls to run alongside compute and data infrastructure.
This setup preserves performance during sustained AI workloads, such as training, inference, and analytics pipelines. Organizations gain stronger controls in shared-everything architectures while maintaining full ownership of encryption keys.
