Within modern security ecosystems, Global 5000 organizations are orchestrating hundreds of thousands of machine identities every second—from TLS/SSL certificates to code signing and SSH keys. Lack of visibility into where these machine identities are installed and who’s using them presents great risk to businesses everywhere. The inability to analyze and report on machine identities restricts an organization’s ability to build and maintain a secure machine identity practice.

The Information Lab, an expert Tableau partner and developer, has provided security teams with an easy, fast, and complete method to analyze and report on machine identity protection with Tableau and Venafi Platform. The Web Data Connector for Venafi Platform gives Tableau users the ability to retrieve different information sets from the Venafi REST API required to build TLS, SSH and code signing reports and schedule an automated refresh in case of a Tableau Server deployment.

Solving the reporting and analysis gap for Tableau will significantly increase the security team’s efficacy to communicate highly dynamic, complex and critical security related data to the business in ways that were not previously possible for an organization’s Machine Identity Protection program.
