TELEPORT ZERO TRUST ACCESS



Audit and recorded sessions in Teleport give us an understanding of exactly what was happening at any given moment. This is incredibly critical from a security and compliance perspective.

Complex infrastructure impedes developer productivity
Engineers need to maintain context for where database access paths and security configurations. This can slow down work on the core products and services that generate revenue.

Teleport unifies access
Unify access for all humans and machines, eliminating the need to maintain complex access paths. Login once and easily switch between environments. No need to juggle private keys, or hop between VPNs and multiple access points. Automate deployment of large-scale infrastructure. Auto-discover all infrastructure in your enterprise.

Pick one: Security or ease of use
Most RBAC tools are not purpose-built for modern infrastructure, or are not designed to be scalable across an enterprise. In both cases, they are usually not easy for infrastructure teams to use. Or, security models may not support fine-grained partitioning of data for authorization.

Delight engineers AND enforce policy
Teleport’s comprehensive RBAC, ABAC and device trust access models enable infrastructure teams to define the policy appropriate to data governance. For example, teams can implement RBAC across infrastructure that restricts access at cluster or table levels only to team members of certain roles (e.g., common enforced policy is "developers must never touch production data."

Secrets are not so secret
Security report after security report details incidents where credentials, keys, etc. were visible as plain text and accessible to anyone who looked. Why go to the trouble of managing a secret if it really isn’t secret?

Eliminate static credentials and secrets altogether
Teleport eliminates static and shared credentials such as API keys and passwords. Users and services authenticate by leveraging SSO, mTLS, and secure enclaves.

Highly privileged accounts put data at risk
Broad standing or stale privileges are still common, and easily exploited. Breach and pivot strategies are often employed by threat actors to gain access to sensitive systems and data. These threat actors seek out highly privileged users or trigger privileges escalation to gain unauthorized access.

Teleport enforces least privileged access

Activity is difficult to trace
Many companies report that it is challenging to figure out who has access to what in their infrastructure, and time-consuming to conduct forensic analysis for compliance or breach remediation.

Complete visibility into access behavior
See what's happening and who is responsible with the live session views, recorded sessions, and the audit for filesystem changes, data transfers, and command executions. Pass audits easily with ready access to fine-grained data.
