Privileged Access Management
Your infrastructure is dynamic, cloud-native, ephemeral – and highly complex. Consisting of:
Traditional PAM tools rely on static credentials and standing privileges and do not fit today’s dynamic infrastructure – slowing down engineering teams and exposing security gaps. Teleport offers a streamlined, scalable approach to access, purpose-built for the way modern engineers work.
Engineers are constantly delayed by access requests that require IT or security team approvals. These processes are built for business applications and do not fit the fast-paced needs of development. This can add hours – or even days – to workflows.
Traditional PAM tools force engineers to waste time managing access rather than focusing on the projects that drive the company forward. They need an approach that fits seamlessly into their workflows – not one that keeps them tangled in red tape.
Manual setup and repetitive configurations slow productivity to a crawl. Engineers want a simplified, scalable solution that automatically adapts to their environment – so they can get back to building, not battling access issues.
For Security Teams
Teleport modernizes access control for both users and machines with cryptographic identity, zero trust, and ephemeral privileges, removing credentials and standing privileges as an attack vector.
Unified identity and policy governance enable organizations to identify and remediate weak access patterns, remove stale privileges, lock users, and enforce policy.
Secure users, machines, devices, and resources with identities authenticated and governed by biometrics or other physical world attributes such as HSMs or TPM monitors.
Eliminate the need for VPNs and network security. Each access request is governed by zero trust authentication and encryption, extending to all users, machines, and resources.
Enforce least privilege for all your infrastructure resources including Linux & Windows servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, and internal applications. Every connection is secured by secretless authentication and ephemeral authorization.
For Engineering Teams
Teleport dynamically refreshes all resources within a unified dashboard – accessed with biometric authentication – which eliminates the need for complicated access paths and credentials.
Access requests can be readily made and authorized through workflow automation using secure, short-lived certificates.
Developers only need to authenticate to Teleport to access the infrastructure resources they are authorized for. No need to remember access paths or credentials, and no more risky backdoors.
Engineering teams can easily manage privilege escalation requests using the tools they know and trust – including Slack, Jira, and PagerDuty – and can work directly with infrastructure using client tools such as kubectl.
Approve or deny privilege escalations using flexible access requests via ChatOps, Slack, PagerDuty – or, customize access approvals with a programmable API.
For Compliance Teams
Teleport streamlines compliance by collecting, managing, and recording all events generated by humans and machines across every component of your infrastructure.
Take the pain and risk out of audits with advanced logging and session replay features – critical requirements for meeting compliance standards such as FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and more.
Security logs are collected on the application level, giving you rich protocol-native context for what happened and who’s responsible. Export to any SIEM or threat detection platforms for further analysis.
An interactive session can contain multiple simultaneous clients. Highly privileged sessions can be configured to always include a moderator to prevent a single client from being a point of failure.
FedRAMP AC-3 and other compliance frameworks like SOC 2 require that highly privileged actions must be approved by multiple authorized team members.
