AUTONOMOUS FLEET
Unified Identity for Your Entire Fleet
From the factory floor to customer sites around the world, Teleport establishes cryptographic identity and access control for every robot, device, and resource — supporting operations at scale.
Trusted by Market Leaders
Built for infrastructure that never stops moving
When you're scaling from tens to thousands of robots, drones, or charging stations, access controls need to keep pace.
Teleport's unified identity layer secures every device from on-prem and cloud to the edge.
Secure access to edge devices in the field
Replace static credentials with short-lived certificates tied to cryptographic identity. Give engineers just-in-time access to remote assets — no open firewall ports, static IPs, or persistent connections required.
Scale fleet operations without credential sprawl
Eliminate the operational overhead of credential rotation, access silos, and fragmented tools across edge devices and fleet infrastructure — with a unified identity layer for all machines, workloads, and AI.
Prove who accessed what, every time
Achieve granular, tamper-proof, identity-traceable audit logs and session recordings across all fleet infrastructure — accelerating audits (SOC 2, ISO, FedRAMP) and reinforcing customer trust.
For distributed systems and fleets
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES & DRONES
Robotics & autonomous systems
Robots, drones, and automated driving stacks deployed into customer networks where inbound ports are blocked and VPNs are rejected by the customer.

Wildfire detection networks, agricultural sensors, and phased-array radar arrays — requiring automated provisioning and zero-touch credential management.
Identity and access problems fleet operators face — solved
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
Connectivity behind hostile networks (NAT / firewalls)
Robots and EV chargers are deployed into restrictive customer warehouses or roam on 5G/Starlink/CGNAT. Opening inbound SSH ports is impossible, and customers reject persistent VPNs.
TELEPORT SOLUTION
REVERSE TUNNELS & IoT MODEOutbound-only NAT traversal
Teleport Agents on the vehicle or ground station initiate an outbound connection to the Proxy — bypassing NAT and firewalls without inbound ports. Survives seamless shifts between cellular and satellite.
Remote diagnostics & break-glass field access
When a drone crashes or robot freezes, technicians need immediate privileged access. Sharing static root passwords across thousands of devices creates a massive blast radius if one is compromised.
Ephemeral access tied to the maintenance window
Technicians authenticate via SSO (Okta / Entra ID) for a short-lived certificate scoped to one specific device. Access expires automatically — no residual credentials remain on hardware.
Liability protection & "flight recorder" auditing
If a robot damages inventory or a satellite config is wiped, the vendor faces liability. Standard logs cannot prove whether a human operator caused the incident via a terminal command.
Kernel-level black box for every session
Teleport records every interactive SSH and Kubernetes exec session at the kernel level via eBPF — providing irrefutable, tamper-proof proof of exactly which commands were run by whom and when. Protects vendors from liability disputes.
Hardware lifecycle & secure provisioning
Avionics and sensors may sit dormant for months between manufacturing and field activation. Burning static secrets into firmware at the factory creates permanent security risks impossible to rotate at scale.
Credentials that are never stored, always fresh
Long-lived join tokens burned into firmware handle initial bootstrapping. Once online, tbot (Machine ID) automates certificate renewal for OTA updaters and workloads — no hardcoded secrets, ever.
Edge Kubernetes management (K3s / MicroK8s)
Modern fleets run containerized workloads directly on devices. Managing access to distributed clusters usually requires exposing the Kubernetes API publicly or distributing complex kubeconfigs.
kubectl through the same reverse tunnel as SSH
Engineers debug pods running on the robot through the same secure reverse tunnel — with identical audit trails and RBAC. The Kubernetes API never needs to be exposed publicly.
How Teleport secures infrastructure at scale
Four capabilities that work together across every device, workload, and identity in your fleet.
Unified access everywhere
Unify access across GPU clusters, data centers, Kubernetes, databases, cloud consoles, and MCP servers — through a single proxy with one audit trail.

Zero standing privileges
Just-in-time access with auto-expiring credentials. Approvals via Slack, PagerDuty, or API. No engineer retains access to a device after the maintenance window closes.

FIPS 140-2 compliant binaries
Teleport Enterprise ships FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules — satisfying the baseline for federal and DoD workloads including FedRAMP High and IL5/IL6 environments. Available as self-hosted deployment with no SaaS dependency.
AIR-GAPPED NETWORKS
Trusted Clusters for isolated environments
For ground stations isolated from corporate IT, Trusted Clusters let a central control plane manage segmented environments without direct internet exposure — meeting OPSEC requirements for classified and sensitive infrastructure.
ITAR · SOC 2 · ISO 27001
Immutable audit logs for every session
Every session is cryptographically attributed to a human identity. Automated provisioning and de-provisioning reduces ITAR compliance review surface and simplifies SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence collection across your entire fleet.
With Teleport, we were even able to close the Kubernetes API without losing access for our engineers or automation tools. That alone was a huge win.

Common questions about fleet access security
Does Teleport secure access to remote hardware?
Yes. Teleport eliminates secrets by establishing cryptographic identity for every edge device, robot, and remote node in your fleet — using reverse tunnels that require only an outbound connection. Eliminate static credentials, shared SSH keys, and standing privileges. Engineers can access any device in the field without VPNs or open firewall ports.
How does Teleport secure access to robotic, industrial, or field-deployed systems?
Teleport secures access to robotic, industrial, and field-deployed systems by establishing cryptographic identity for every device, issuing short-lived certificates, and using reverse tunnels that require only an outbound connection — eliminating static credentials, standing privileges, and VPNs across your entire fleet. Field technicians authenticate via SSO, receive time-limited certificates scoped to a specific device, and leave no residual credentials behind.
Does Teleport secure access to remote or edge systems?
Yes. Teleport secures access to remote and edge systems using reverse tunnels that require only an outbound connection — automatically re-establishing connectivity if the network is interrupted. Engineers get consistent, auditable access to every edge node without static credentials, VPNs, or open firewall ports.
