Identity & Access Management
Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform
Identity-native PAM using ephemeral certificates for just-in-time, zero-standing-privilege access.
Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform Overview
What it does
Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform is an identity-native privileged access system that secures how engineers, machines, and AI agents connect to servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, cloud consoles, and internal applications. Instead of long-lived passwords, SSH keys, or vaulted credentials, it issues short-lived cryptographic certificates bound to a verified identity, so access expires automatically and no standing privilege is left behind.
How it works
The platform is organized into modules for Zero Trust Access, Machine and Workload Identity, Identity Governance, and Identity Security, unified by a single identity layer. Engineers request just-in-time privileges through tools such as Slack or PagerDuty, sessions to infrastructure are brokered, recorded, and can be terminated in real time, and role-based policies scope every connection to specific resources. Access Graph maps identity-to-resource relationships to surface standing privileges, unmanaged keys, and risky access paths across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Credentials and traction
Teleport maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications and attests to HIPAA Security Rule compliance across its cloud and self-hosted products. The Hacker News named it Most Innovative Identity and Access Management Platform in the 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards, and it was named a finalist for Best Identity Management Solution in the 2026 SC Awards and included on the 2026 Fortune Cyber 60 list. More than 600 companies rely on Teleport, including KnowBe4, Turo, Carta, dbt Labs, GoTo, and ECMWF across fintech, SaaS, and research sectors.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesTime-bound, on-demand granting of privileged access that removes standing privilege.
Brokers secure remote privileged access for third-party and external IT staff such as vendors and service providers.
Management and rotation of machine and application secrets such as API keys, tokens, and certificates for non-human identities.
Automated discovery and onboarding of privileged accounts across on-premises and cloud environments.
Discovery and right-sizing of excessive cloud entitlements and privileged permissions across cloud platforms.
Analyzes privilege patterns, misconfigurations and access anomalies to detect and respond to privileged threats.
Provides role-based administration and centralized policy management for controlling access to privileged credentials and actions.
Brokering, monitoring, and recording of privileged sessions with the ability to audit and terminate them in real time.
Creates net-new permissions per need and removes them after a time-bound session, eliminating standing privileged accounts.
