Teleport Technical Papers

From Zero Trust to Agent Trust

AI agents operating at scale have characteristics that have no equivalency in purely human or software environments, and zero trust, as currently conceived, is necessary but insufficient to control or contain them. This paper explores what needs to change in order to preserve trust as agents are deployed in enterprise infrastructure.

Cyber 66 Hottest Privately Held Cybersecurity Companies

The Citizens Bank Cyber 66 report identifies Teleport as one of the most well-positioned private cybersecurity companies of 2026. Analysts highlight Teleport's cryptographic approach to infrastructure identity, its unified platform for securing all four identity types — humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents — and recent product innovations including a secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agentic Identity Framework.

Identity Is the Foundation of Agentic AI Security

This cybersecurity leadership brief from Futuriom explores why identity must become the foundation of agentic AI security. As agents proliferate across enterprise systems, traditional access controls and fragmented identity platforms struggle to keep pace with the scale and unpredictability of machine-driven activity.

Putting an "S" in MCP: Delivering Identity to Agentic AI Implementations Securely

This IDC Spotlight explores how Teleport brings identity, authentication, and least-privilege governance to MCP-based AI systems, turning agentic autonomy into verifiable, auditable trust.

From Cost Center to Business Catalyst: Making Identity Security Visible and Valuable

In this report from HyperFRAME Research, learn how unified identity security can transform cybersecurity from a reactive cost center into a key driver of business growth, resilience, and innovation.

Accelerate ISO 27001:2022 Compliance with Teleport

This document outlines key updates and new controls within ISO 27001:2022 and explains how Teleport helps organizations increase alignment to ISO requirements across Annex A’s relevant control families.

Identity Security at a Crossroads: Balancing Stability, Agility, and Security

Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 370 IT and cybersecurity decision-makers at organizations in North America (US and Canada) involved with or responsible for workforce identity and access management (IAM) and identity security processes and technologies. Download the report to learn more.

Automation is the New Attack Surface: Securing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) at the Infrastructure Layer

Modern infrastructure moves fast. Automation now powers nearly every critical system — from provisioning environments with code, to deploying software through pipelines, to scaling workloads across distributed services and AI agents. But beneath that velocity lies an expanding layer of risk that’s often invisible: non-human identities (NHI).

Implementing Zero Trust for Federal Infrastructure: Teleport’s Alignment with DoD Strategy and NIST 800-53

Federal mandates are driving agencies toward a Zero Trust model—but legacy tools fall short of meeting the DoD’s and NIST’s rigorous standards. This white paper explores how Teleport supports DoD-aligned access control, device verification, workload security, and privileged access management through its Infrastructure Identity Platform. Learn how to enforce zero standing privilege, secure workloads, and maintain audit-ready compliance across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
