Teleport Named an Overall Leader in 2026 KuppingerCole Analysts Leadership Compass for Zero Trust Platforms

Recognition reinforces Teleport’s leadership in enabling resilient infrastructure at scale, critical for the agentic era

Oakland, CA — July 13, 2026— Teleport, the AI Infrastructure Identity company, today announced it is recognized as an Overall Leader in KuppingerCole Analysts 2026 Leadership Compass for Zero Trust Platforms.

Teleport pioneered Infrastructure Identity, a zero trust architecture that eliminates identity fragmentation, static credentials, and static privileges, establishing a unified identity layer for humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents, backed cryptographically by a hardware root of trust. With Teleport, just-in-time privileges reduce blast radius and prevent lateral movement.

The market adoption of Teleport’s platform and architecture garnered recognition in the #2 spot for Product, and Innovation Leadership. Alexei Balaganski, KuppingerCole Lead Analyst & CTO noted, “Teleport demonstrates overall leadership through its strong infrastructure identity architecture, short-lived certificate model, mature access workflows, and depth of coverage. Its focus on secretless access and machine identity governance aligns closely with the direction of the Zero Trust Platforms market.”

“Zero trust takes on even more importance as we move into the agentic era,“ said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO of Teleport. “Our unified identity architecture enables enterprises to responsibly deploy large numbers of agents that operate at machine speed with human-like unpredictability. Enterprise leaders are under pressure to deliver on their AI roadmaps, but security is the bottleneck. We eliminate this bottleneck. Companies driving agent innovation must first solve the identity problem. Our solution treats hardware, software, people and agents as equal first class citizens.”
