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
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.
Capability |  | Without Teleport |
|---|---|---|
Agent identity | Unique cryptographic identity per agent | Shared API keys, impersonated service accounts |
Access model | Least-privileged, JIT access that expires automatically | Over-privileged roles that persist |
Audit / Compliance | Session capture logging queries, actions, tool calls | No structured record or evidence of agent actions |
Blast radius | Short-lived privileges with least privileged access | Inheritance of broad service account permissions |
OUTCOMES
Control and contain agent actions.

anonymous AI actors in your infrastructure
Reduce Incident Risk
4.5x
fewer security incidents when agents have least-privileged access
0
standing privileges for any AI agent or MCP tool
Eliminate Credential Risk
0
static API keys, shared service accounts, or vaults required to run agents

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.
- Zero trust access to GPU clusters, Kubernetes, databases, and cloud consoles
- JIT elevation for privileged actions that is policy-driven, not manual
- Location-independent, with access policies enforced consistently across cloud, on-premises, and AI workloads
- Full session recording for every agentic interaction — compliance-ready
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
