Teleport Named an Overall Leader in Zero Trust Platforms by KuppingerCole Analysts

Free masterclass on infrastructure identity for 2026. Learn how to secure AI agents, eliminate credential sprawl, and build resilient infrastructure. No forms, just watch.

The Infrastructure Identity Masterclass

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.

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.

Cyber 66 Hottest Privately Held Cybersecurity Companies

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.

Identity Is the Foundation of Agentic AI Security

Agentic AI is fundamentally changing how software operates, and in doing so, it breaks the identity and access models that many organizations still rely on.

Why Agentic AI Breaks Legacy Identity — and What Infrastructure Leaders Must Do Next

New Teleport research examines rising AI infrastructure security risks, adoption trends, and the identity controls reducing incident rates in 2026 and beyond.

Kubernetes is powerful — but let’s be honest, managing access and identities across users, clusters, kubectl sessions, RBAC rules, CI/CD pipelines, and AI agents can feel like wandering through a corn maze in the dark. Static kubeconfigs, sprawling IAM roles, and long-lived credentials are the cobwebs and skeletons cluttering your path to secure, scalable infrastructure. This webinar will show you how to make those spooky challenges disappear.

The 2-Minute Investigation: How Teleport Identity Security Sees What Your SIEM Can’t

As infrastructure becomes increasingly automated, the systems that deploy, manage, and scale it—CI/CD pipelines, service agents, orchestration tools—rely on a growing class of non-human identities (NHIs). These machine actors often operate with persistent credentials, excessive privileges, and limited visibility—leaving critical trust gaps in modern environments.

Top Use Cases & Trends in Machine & Workload Identity

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).
