ZERO TRUST ACCESS
Scalable Secure Access for Kubernetes
Scale Kubernetes role-based access controls (RBAC) across mixed infrastructure and multi-cloud.
Teleport allows us to comply with the regulatory hurdles that come with running an international stock exchange. The use of bastion hosts, integration with our identity service and auditing capabilities give us a compliant way to access our internal infrastructure.

CHALLENGES
RBAC mistakes lead to a breach
Securing access to a single K8s cluster is manageable. But, what about enterprises with multiple K8s clusters spread across multiple cloud platforms? That’s hard. Just a single mistake in RBAC and your K8s infrastructure is easily breached.
Teleport provides unified, scalable access controls for Kubernetes
Single entry point for all Kubernetes clusters
Auto-discovery of all K8s clusters in your enterprise
Lock down endpoints by replacing public API endpoints with Teleport’s mTLS authentication
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 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.
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 DevOps teams to use.
Built by DevOps teams, for DevOps teams
Effortless access to K8s apps and services
Works with kubectl
Automatic discovery of K8s apps
SSO-protected authentication for users and mTLS certs for machines
Most privileged is the default
Recent industry reports demonstrate that too many Kubernetes teams stick with default security configurations, which often provides broad privilege that is easily exploited.
Least privileged access
JIT access requests for K8s environments
Per-session MFA for accessing critical pods
Identifies weak access patterns and remediates them
Secure, On-Demand Access to Infrastructure
Granular Access Control: Get precise definitions of roles and permissions, ensuring users have only the access they need.
Unified Access Management: Provide centralized control over access to all Kubernetes clusters, simplifying management and improving security posture.
Auditable Access: Log all access events for a comprehensive audit trail.
Secure Authentication: Integrate with Single Sign-On (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Session Recording: Record all user sessions within the Kubernetes clusters, for real-time monitoring and forensic analysis.
