Getting started

Learn how to register an application with Teleport in our getting started guide.

Protect cloud provider APIs

You can use Teleport to provide secure access to your cloud provider's APIs. This means that you can prevent unauthorized usage of management consoles and CLI tools with the same RBAC system you use to protect your infrastructure.

Protect internal applications

You can use Teleport to enable secure access to internal applications. For example, a load balancer might display network telemetry through a control panel but might lack the ability to authenticate with and be accessed by resources outside your private network.

Teleport lets team members access these resources securely, even outside a private network, with no shared secrets.
