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.

Securing the Model Context Protocol: Access, Authorization, and Audit for Enterprise AI

AI adoption is outpacing traditional security models. This white paper explores how Infrastructure Identity extends to the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling secure access and governance for LLM-powered systems. Learn how to protect enterprise AI workflows by eliminating static credentials, applying least-privileged access, and unifying security policies across human and machine identities.
