Identity and Access Control for Autonomous AI Actors
Teleport treats every actor — agents, LLM tools, bots, MCP tools, and digital twins — as a first-class identity. Teleport enables secure agent orchestration by providing:
- Attestable workload identities
- Short-lived credentials
- Just-In-Time access elevation for sensitive actions
- Strict RBAC/ABAC policies
- Full audit visibility
This turns agentic AI from “uncontrolled automation” into trustworthy, governed automation.
Secure Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Implement access and authorization controls from LLMs to data sources using MCP.
Extend the same access control and identity governance technology that you use for humans, machines to AI, ensuring proper reasoning of policy across the identity actors in your infrastructure.
AI-First Features that Transform Detection and Response
Teleport’s AI features enable companies to compress forensic investigation, governance, and surface anomalies.
AI Session Summaries
Teleport automatically summarizes every AI, machine, or human session with key actions taken, commands/queries executed, identity timeline context, data/model interaction, notable anomalies
AI-Assisted Access Reviews
Teleport Identity Security reduces governance effort by clustering, summarizing, and surfacing anomalies related to identity access patterns, ensuring safe access to model registries, GPU clusters, and pipelines.
AI-Enhanced Threat Visibility
Teleport Identity Security provides identity chain mapping across infra, cloud, CI, and agents, AI-generated incident narratives, and surfaces behavior patterns, perfect for detecting unintended agentic actions, abnormal access to model weights, MCP-driven automation missteps.
Protect Your AI/ML Models
AI models — especially proprietary LLMs or high-value multimodal models — are among the most sensitive assets in modern infrastructure. Teleport enforces identity-first protection for models throughout their lifecycle. Teleport protects your AI/ML assets by securing:
Model Weights
(LLM checkpoints, fine-tuned versions, deltas)
Model Weights
(LLM checkpoints, fine-tuned versions, deltas)
- Restrict access only to verified identities (human, machine, agentic)
- Apply ephemeral access to prevent long-lived secrets to storage/model registries
- Log every model download, load, or export
- Support policy-based evaluation for fine-tuning or model-release operations
Training Data & Feature Stores

- Govern access to MLFlow, S3, GCS, HuggingFace-compatible registries, etc.
- Use JIT elevation for destructive or privileged actions
- Record identity-aware activity on model artifacts
Inference Systems & Production Deployment Paths
Inference Systems & Production Deployment Paths
- Authenticate every inference call from internal services or MCP tools

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Teleport secure my AI infrastructure and GPU clusters?
Teleport applies Zero Trust Access controls to the infrastructure that runs AI workloads to ensure all connections use strong identity and policy, including SSH nodes, Kubernetes clusters, databases, and MCP servers.
Can Teleport protect my proprietary models and checkpoints?
Yes; Teleport protects model infrastructure by governing and auditing access to the databases, storage systems, and MCP servers that serve those models, not by inspecting the model artifacts themselves.
Does Teleport help secure my training data and feature stores?
Yes; Teleport secures training data and feature stores by enforcing identity-based access and logging on the databases and cloud services that hold your data, enabling visualization of and alerting on risky access patterns.
Does Teleport provide identities to AI agents and digital twins?
Teleport treats AI agents as distinct identities, issuing short-lived credentials and governing them using the same policy and access control framework used to govern human and machine identities.
Can Teleport eliminate the static credentials protecting model weights and registries at AI labs?
Yes. Teleport replaces the static credentials guarding sensitive assets such as model weights and registries with short-lived cryptographic identity issued to each human, workload, and agent that needs access. Access is least-privileged and time-bound, and every session is recorded, so an AI lab protects high-value systems without secrets sitting in configuration files or CI variables.
What is the best way to secure engineer access to GPU clusters and AI compute infrastructure with Teleport?
Teleport secures access to GPU clusters and AI compute infrastructure with short-lived cryptographic identity, least-privileged just-in-time access, and session recording, so engineers reach compute quickly while holding no standing credentials. The same identity layer covers the humans, workloads, and agents running on that AI infrastructure, with one audit trail across all of it.
