Teleport reveals Beams, a runtime designed to provide secure, isolated environments and managed identity for AI agents in production infrastructure.

Teleport introduces Beams for AI agent security

Organizations have spent years accumulating fragmented identity systems: too many roles, too many credentials, too many disconnected tools. For a workforce of humans, that fragmentation was manageable. Humans log in, log out, and make decisions slowly enough that gaps in control rarely turned into immediate incidents. AI agents operate differently.



The AI safety conversation is focused on the wrong layer

Digital crime is now so costly that, were it an economy, it would rank behind only the GDPs of the U.S. and China. Increasingly, we depend on data integrity for our very lives, and some of the biggest risks are to hospitals and essential services like power or 911.
