Teleport Named Winner of the Prestigious Global InfoSec Awards during RSAC Conference 2026

Teleport honored for innovation in identity, AI security, and cloud-native infrastructure protection

SAN FRANCISCO - March 23, 2026 – Teleport, the AI Infrastructure Identity Company, today announced at the RSAC 2026 Conference that it has won the following awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine:

• Visionary AI Security
• Publisher's Choice Cloud Native Security
• Transformational Identity Security
• Next Gen Passwordless Authentication

“Most organizations are still managing AI agents, machines, and humans through completely separate identity systems — and then wondering why credential sprawl keeps causing breaches. That's the problem Teleport was built to eliminate,” said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO of Teleport. “This recognition signals that the industry is catching up to what we've believed from the start: identity has to be one layer, not three.”

“Teleport stood out to the judges for its forward-looking approach to AI infrastructure security and identity-native access controls,” said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine. “By extending identity-based security across humans, machines, and AI systems, Teleport can help organizations modernize how they secure critical infrastructure in an increasingly automated world.”

Teleport is redefining how organizations secure infrastructure access by pioneering Infrastructure Identity - a modern approach that replaces legacy VPNs, SSH keys, and standing privileges with short-lived, cryptographic, identity-based access applied uniformly across humans, machines, and agentic AI. Traditional IAM and PAM tools were built for a credential-based era, managing identities in silos and relying on static secrets that expand the attack surface as organizations scale. Teleport eliminates these risks by establishing identity as the foundation of trust across modern infrastructure environments.
