THE MODERN IDENTITY GOVERNANCE CHALLENGE

Engineers Need Identity Governance at Infrastructure Scale  

Traditional identity governance tools weren’t built for engineering infrastructure. They lack context about servers, clusters, databases, workloads, and developer workflows — creating gaps that attackers exploit and auditors flag.

Teleport Identity Governance

Bring identity governance directly to the engineering stack, unifying access, approval, identity lifecycle, and continuous monitoring across users, machines, agents, and cloud resources. Teleport Identity Governance hardens identities and reduces administration complexity with:

Identity provider integration

Just-in-time access requests

Access lists / reviews

Access monitoring & response

Trusted devices

alt

Leverage existing identity provider workflows

Teleport integrates seamlessly with your identity providers using custom APIs and SCIM, ensuring users always have the right access at the right time.

  • Automatic provisioning when employees join or change teams

  • Instant de-provisioning when employees leave or transfer

  • Continuous compliance monitoring and alerts for violations

Approve only what’s needed with Just‑In‑Time Access Requests

T​​eleport eliminates always-on privileged access by issuing short-lived, just-in-time access that expires automatically. Collapse the attack surface by removing long-lived credentials and secrets sprawl.

  • Enforce least privilege while shortening access response time

  • Automate approvals using RBAC, ABAC, or contextual rules

  • Generate rich audit trails for every request and approval

  • Let engineers request access via familiar tools and CLIs

alt

Reduce compliance workload with Access Lists & Reviews

Teleport automates the repetitive work of access reviews and makes them faster, clearer, and fully traceable.

  • Review and approve requests using Slack, PagerDuty, Teams, Jira, or ServiceNow

  • Assign reviewers or managers automatically

  • Enforce mandatory review cycles

  • Build custom review logic using APIs or the Go SDK

  • Integrate with AWS IAM Identity Center, GCP and Azure consoles for unified cloud governance

New Feature AI Access Reviews

Cut access review toil by 90%

AI inspection that automatically clusters, summarizes, and highlights unusual access patterns. 

alt

Enforce strong protection with Access Monitoring & Response

Purge unused or unsafe access automatically. Teleport continuously evaluates privileges and session behavior to ensure your policies stay enforced without depending on manual cleanup.

  • Detect overly broad or unused permissions

  • Identify sessions missing MFA or device trust

  • Send alerts for access violations

  • Automatically remove stale or risky access

Block Untrusted Devices and Lock Compromised Identities

Teleport verifies device posture before granting access, blocking access from unmanaged or compromised endpoints. This stops attackers who steal laptops or clone disks.

Identity locking provides strong protection if an identity is compromised, instantly cutting off access across all infrastructure resources. This protects against threats like SSO bypass, session relay, token theft, MFA fatigue attacks, and account reactivation abuse.

alt

Purpose-Built for Engineering Teams

No more spreadsheets, manual access reviews, or privilege sprawl. Teleport brings identity governance directly into engineering infrastructure, giving teams:

Unified governance across all identity types

Identity + device + access context in every approval

Built-in Zero Trust enforcement

Engineering-native workflows

AI that reduces governance workload

What Our Customers Say

  • Teleport is a strategic technology partner as they help our joint customers to scale their AWS resources in a secure manner. With Teleport’s Identity-Native Infrastructure Access solution, DevOps Engineers get a frictionless experience managing infrastructure that doesn’t require secrets while implementing zero trust architecture in AWS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Teleport Identity Governance?

Teleport Identity Governance manages on-demand access, privileges, and compliance for infrastructure using Just-in-Time Access Requests, Access Lists, and policy-driven approvals.

Unlike traditional IGA tools that focus narrowly on SaaS apps, Teleport’s governance features are built to govern access to infrastructure resources like servers, databases, Kubernetes, and cloud consoles (in addition to internal and web applications) via RBAC and Access Lists.

Identity Governance integrations sync RBAC data with AWS IAM Identity Center, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta while supporting SCIM-based integrations for systems like SailPoint.

When you use SCIM integrations, Teleport automatically creates, updates, and deletes users and Access List memberships based on changes in the upstream identity provider, including deprovisioning.
