Agentic AI

Agentic Identity & Access Control

Agents need identity. 
Access control. Audit.
 

AI agents operating across your infrastructure are querying databases, calling APIs, touching production systems. Without strong identity and governed access, you risk unintended consequences.

WHY UNCONTROLLED AI IS AN IDENTITY CRISIS

CREDENTIAL SPRAWLLATERAL MOVEMENT RISKAI IDENTITY BLINDSPOTNO UNIFIED AUDIT TRAILNON-DETERMINISTIC AGENT BEHAVIORMCP SECURITY GAPS

Agents that impersonate users don't have identity. They have borrowed access.

Most organizations running AI agents rely on static API keys and shared service accounts never designed for autonomous, always-on systems. Teleport treats every agent as a first-class identity.

CRYPTOGRAPHIC IDENTITY FOR EVERY AGENT

Agents are first-class actors.

Teleport treats every AI agent as a first class actor, with privileges governed by a short-lived certificate limited to the task at hand that automatically expires. No API keys, shared service accounts, or impersonation. Each agent is distinct, traceable, and governed.

  • Cryptographic identity with short-lived privileges that are based on task and expire
  • Delegation without impersonation — agents operate on behalf of principals, not as principals
  • Unified identity model for humans, machines, workloads, and AI, enabling policy enforcement across identity types

GOVERNED ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE 

No standing privileges. No credentials.

AI agents don't need standing access to your infrastructure. Teleport enforces just-in-time access for every agent that is least privileged for the task at hand, expires automatically, and is fully auditable. 

AUDITABILITY FOR AGENTIC WORKFLOWS

An audit trail for every agent action. 

Teleport captures every query, with full auditability across sessions. Session records can be exported to SIEMs for further analysis or summarized in Teleport Identity Security for alert review and risk classification. 

  • Structured audit logs for every agent action — prompts, queries, tool calls
  • MITRE ATT&CK mapping on session risk classifications
  • AI-generated session summaries compress forensic review from hours to minutes
  • Identity chain reconstructed across auth, infra, and agent access in one timeline
