Teleport develops infrastructure identity and access security software for organizations securing modern infrastructure without relying on static credentials, VPNs, or fragmented administration tools. Its core value proposition is a unified identity layer that applies cryptographic identity, policy, and audit controls across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
Teleport is the AI Infrastructure Identity Company, extending infrastructure identity beyond human users to machines, workloads, and AI agents. Its portfolio combines zero trust access, machine and workload identity, governance, identity security, and end-user tooling for engineers, delivered through managed cloud, self-hosted enterprise, and open-source community deployment options. Teleport is built to secure the operational systems teams use daily, including servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, applications, cloud services, Windows desktops, and Model Context Protocol-connected AI infrastructure.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Teleport delivers a unified identity layer for infrastructure that combines cryptographic authentication, policy enforcement, just-in-time access, approval workflows, session recording, and audit logging. It is designed to secure access across Linux and Windows systems, Kubernetes clusters, databases, web applications, cloud APIs and consoles, and MCP servers, while also governing non-human identities used by CI/CD pipelines, automation, and service-to-service communication.
Teleport integrates with identity, workflow, and developer tooling such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, AWS Identity Center, Slack, Jira, PagerDuty, Jamf Pro, Terraform, GitHub, and GitLab. Across cloud environments, it supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud use cases, including federated access, cloud-console authentication, resource discovery, and workload identity patterns based on short-lived certificates, JWTs, mTLS, and SPIFFE-compatible identities.
Products and Services
- Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform: Unified platform that secures human, machine, workload, and AI identities across infrastructure with cryptographic identity, access control, governance, and audit capabilities.
- Teleport Zero Trust Access: Identity-driven access layer for servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, applications, cloud consoles, Windows desktops, and MCP servers without relying on VPNs, passwords, or static credentials.
- Teleport Machine & Workload Identity: Issues short-lived cryptographic identities to bots, CI/CD jobs, containers, virtual machines, and services for infrastructure access and inter-service authentication using mTLS, JWTs, and SPIFFE-compatible identities.
- Teleport Identity Governance: Infrastructure-focused governance capabilities for access requests, approvals, access lists, reviews, identity lifecycle sync, and just-in-time privilege management.
- Teleport Identity Security: Identity security layer that consolidates access telemetry, visualizes access relationships, discovers shadow access, and flags anomalous identity behavior across infrastructure.
- Teleport Connect: Developer desktop application and cloud infrastructure browser that provides passwordless, identity-based access to Teleport-protected resources from a graphical interface.
- Teleport Beams: Trusted agent runtimes for infrastructure designed to give AI agents isolated execution environments and managed identity controls for production use.
- Teleport Enterprise Cloud: Managed deployment option in which Teleport operates core control-plane services, upgrades, and certificate management for customers.
- Teleport Community Edition: Free, open-source self-hosted edition that provides core secure infrastructure access capabilities for evaluation, small teams, and community users.
Target Customers
Teleport targets infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, and security teams that need centralized control over privileged access to modern infrastructure. It serves organizations running hybrid, multi-cloud, or on-premises environments where engineers, machines, workloads, and AI systems interact with servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, internal applications, and cloud services.
Teleport also serves enterprises with strong compliance, auditability, and operational resilience requirements, including organizations working toward controls associated with FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA. Its community edition broadens adoption to smaller teams and evaluators, while its governance, identity security, and AI-oriented offerings align with organizations managing access complexity at larger scale.
Cloud Integrations and Marketplace
- AWS Marketplace: Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform is available through AWS Marketplace, and Teleport also supports AWS-centric access and identity workflows across services such as AWS IAM Identity Center, EC2, EKS, and RDS/Aurora.
