TELEPORT ZERO TRUST ACCESS

End Infrastructure
Complexity Chaos

Teleport gives your engineering teams and machine identities secure, identity-driven access to servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, cloud consoles, internal applications, and MCP servers — without VPNs, passwords, or static credentials.

ENGINEERING NEEDS IAM AT SCALE

Why Access Breaks

The modern threat landscape easily exploits credentials. Infrastructure complexity impedes engineers. At engineering scale, status quo identity and access models create security gaps, cumbersome audits, and cognitive overload for engineers.

Static credentials spread everywhere

VPNs and bastion hosts widen the attack surface

Standing privileges accumulate and persist

Device posture is unknown or ignored

Audit trails are fragmented or incomplete

Teleport Zero Trust Access

Improve resiliency, accelerate engineers

Teleport unifies identities and secures access for your entire infrastructure with:

Cryptographically-secured user, machine, and agent identities

Secretless authentication

Ephemeral privileges that expire

Session recording and audit trail

Eliminate Secrets with Cryptographic Identity

Remove static credentials to eliminate the risk of credential theft and reuse, the #1 source of data breaches. Teleport locks down attack surfaces with cryptographic, phishing-resistant identities assigned to all users, machines and workloads, devices, resources, and AI (agents and LLMs).

User Identities

Authenticate users without passwords leveraging biometric devices. Add Teleport as a security layer on top of your identity provider or use Teleport's SSO.

Machines & workloads

Issue and govern identities for your CI/CD automation systems, service accounts and microservices, and agentic AI and LLMs leveraging HSM and KMS.

Devices

Assign identities to enrolled TPM-equipped client devices (laptops, workstations, YubiKeys, and more).

 

Infrastructure

Assign a cryptographic identity to every application, server, database, and cloud resource. Supports SSH, RDP, databases, K8s, clouds, Model Context Protocol (MCP) and more.

Unify Access Control

Break access silos with a unified inventory of all infrastructure resources, eliminating the need for different access paths, passwords, shared secrets, vaults, or VPNs.

Teleport maintains a self-updating inventory of trusted computing resources, including servers, clouds, databases, Kubernetes clusters, web apps, MCP servers, and Git repositories, and enrolled client devices including laptops, workstations, YubiKeys, and more.

Reduce Attack Surface with Ephemeral Privileges

Enforce the practice of least privileged access and lower the operational overhead of managing privileges or enforcing policy.

Teleport replaces passwords, SSH keys, API tokens, and database credentials with ephemeral privileges, granted through short-lived certificates for all resources. These are bound to biometric devices and secure enclaves via Teleport's built-in certificate authority for X.509 and SSH certificates. (See Identity Governance for Access Requests / Just-in-Time Access.)

Eliminate VPN Complexity with Teleport VNet

Teleport VNet connects identities to internal, non-browser TCP resources without VPNs, port forwarding, or custom DNS entries using familiar tools and workflows — eliminating exposure to the public internet.

Gain Complete Auditing & Session Visibility

Collect all events generated by humans, machines, and agents across your entire infrastructure in one place and export to any SIEM or threat detection platforms (including Teleport Identity Security) for further analysis.

 

 

 

  • Identity-Based Audit Events: Collect structured, detailed audit events for each session with identity, application and protocol data.

  • Dual Authorization: Require approval by multiple authorized team members for highly privileged actions (e.g., FedRAMP AC-3 & SOC 2).

  • Interactive Session Controls: Record, replay, join, and moderate interactive sessions for SSH and Kubernetes.

  • Session Sharing & Moderation: Require your highly privileged sessions to always include a moderator to prevent production and security incidents.

  • Live Sessions View: View every active authenticated connection across your entire infrastructure. Interfere if needed.

  • Session Recording & Playback: Record sessions for detailed review of who accessed what and what took place.

  • Accelerate Compliance: Teleport secures controls for FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, NIS2, DORA, and more.

REDUCING INFRASTRUCTURE COMPLEXITY

Unify Identity and Access Across All Infrastructure Resources

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Teleport Zero Trust Access?

Teleport Zero Trust Access secures access to all your infrastructure (servers, databases, Kubernetes, cloud, and apps) using cryptographic identity, RBAC, and short-lived certificates instead of static credentials.

Teleport is not a VPN; it is an identity-based access platform that authenticates every connection with certificates and roles, and can connect clients to internal TCP and SSH services.

Teleport VNet proxies connections from a user’s machine to TCP apps and SSH servers behind Teleport’s proxy, so programs connect to internal resources without running a separate VPN tunnel.

Teleport Zero Trust Access implements zero trust security for infrastructure by requiring strong identity and authorization for each session, applying the same principles as ZTNA to servers, databases, Kubernetes, and cloud consoles.

With Teleport, users authenticate via an external identity provider or passwordless methods (like WebAuthn hardware keys), and are issued short-lived certificates that they use to access infrastructure.
