Privileged access, engineered for modern DevOps

Your infrastructure is dynamic, cloud-native, ephemeral – and highly complex. Consisting of:

  • Containers and microservices
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Multi-cloud and on-premises environments

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.

Tired of waiting on IT for access?

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.

Manage more projects, not more admin work

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.

Eliminate tedious reconfigurations

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

Secure modern infrastructure - all of it

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.

Cryptographic identities

Secure users, machines, devices, and resources with identities authenticated and governed by biometrics or other physical world attributes such as HSMs or TPM monitors.

Zero trust authentication

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.

Ephemeral privileges

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

Streamline engineer productivity

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.

Simple, dynamic access

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.

DevOps-ready compatibility

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.

Just-in-time access requests

Approve or deny privilege escalations using flexible access requests via ChatOps, Slack, PagerDuty – or, customize access approvals with a programmable API.

For Compliance Teams

Streamline compliance across modern infrastructure

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.

Rich Audit Logs

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.

Session Sharing & Moderation

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.

Dual Authorization

FedRAMP AC-3 and other compliance frameworks like SOC 2 require that highly privileged actions must be approved by multiple authorized team members.

A modern approach to Privileged Access

Privileged access needs to be as agile and ephemeral as modern infrastructure – and we’ll show you how.

Explore the key challenges in securing access to modern computing infrastructure. Through the lens of anonymized case study, learn about the real-world difficulties scaling legacy access controls across today’s IT environments – and discover how this firm successfully adapted privileged access to their growing infrastructure.
