Get a DemoAccelerate Engineering Velocity
End the security vs. speed tradeoff.
Eliminate the static credentials and standing privileges that drive complexity. Maintain resiliency with growth and scale. Engineers win. Security wins.
WHY IDENTITY AND ACCESS FRICTION KILLS ENGINEERING VELOCITY
Reduce infrastructure complexity.
Accelerate growth and drive scale.
Teleport reduces the complexity of homegrown or fragmented identity and access tooling with an infrastructure identity platform that engineers want to use and security teams can trust at scale.
 Teleport | Legacy PAM |
|---|---|
Short-lived privileges are issued based on task, and expire automatically, eliminating complexity of static credentials. | SSH keys, shared passwords, and API tokens multiply with every new engineer, cluster, and cloud environment |
A unified identity layer for every resource — servers, Kubernetes, databases, cloud consoles, internal apps, Git, MCP — using SSH, kubectl, psql and other familiar tools | Engineers navigate different access paths for every environment — VPNs for on-prem, consoles for cloud, separate tools for Kubernetes and databases |
Just-in-time access requested and approved via Slack, Jira, or PagerDuty in seconds — or granted automatically by policy based on role, device, and context | Access requests go through ticketing systems designed for business workflows — engineers wait hours or days, then work around controls to keep moving |
New infrastructure enrolls automatically, with consistent policy enforced across every region, cloud, and environment without manual steps | Every new region, cloud, or cluster requires manual enrollment, custom access configuration, and a growing pile of homegrown tooling to maintain |
Every session is recorded and attributed to a real identity, protocol, and task — one audit trail, exportable to any SIEM, ready for any compliance framework | Audit logs live in separate systems — Okta, CloudTrail, GitHub, Kubernetes — with no unified view of who accessed what, when, or why |

Delight Engineers
Unified, fast access to resources.
One place for every resource, team, and environment regardless of where they're located (cloud, on-prem, edge). No need to juggle static credentials, VPNs, cloud identity models. Engineers spend time building, not battling infrastructure connectivity hassles.
Auto-discover available resources — servers, Kubernetes, databases, web apps, CI/CD pipelines, code repositories and more
Use familiar tools like SSH, kubectl, and database clients
No VPNs, no port forwarding, no custom DNS with Teleport VNet
Fast provisioning and deprovisioning for new team members and projects
Reduce Operational Overhead
Lower complexity - no standing privileges, no credentials.
Short-lived privileges are granted instantly and expire automatically. No tickets. No waiting. Lower friction. Smaller blast radius.
Request just-in-time privileges through familiar tools like Slack and PagerDuty, avoiding bureaucratic approval processes.
Eliminate VPNs and bastion hosts, getting rid of network segmentation hassles with zero-trust architecture
Get rid of the hassle (and security risk) of managing passwords, API keys, tokens, and other static credentials
Govern CI/CD pipeline and IaC workflow automation with machine identity
Reduce Audit Burden
Less time in the audit chair
Audit effort drops from weeks to hours. Teleport captures fine-grained session recordings and granular logs across every resource, every identity, and every access event — all in one place. No chasing data across machines or systems.
Session recording and playback across SSH, Kubernetes, databases, and cloud consoles
All audit data centralized and exportable to any SIEM — no manual collection from multiple systems
Eliminate entire sections of audit review — no passwords, static credentials, or shared secrets to account for
Built-in controls for the advanced requirements of FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, NIS2, and DORA
AI Session Summaries with Timeline & Risk for fast investigation and response
Infrastructure Resiliency at Scale
Scale resiliency from startup to hyperscaler
As your infrastructure expands across clouds, regions, and datacenters, Teleport scales with it, supporting users, machines, and AI workloads with high resiliency as new clusters, regions, and environments are enrolled.
Ditch the complexity of VPNs, bastion hosts, and secrets managers
Deploy automation and new technologies without secrets rotation hurdles or access rearchitecting
Built-in enforcement of access policy across every region, cloud, and environment, with full auditability
Multi-region high availability ensures engineers always have access for always-on requirements.
Unified Identity — Humans, Machines & AI
A unified identity layer for all actors.
As companies grow and deploy AI, the number of identities multiplies fast — engineers, service accounts, CI/CD pipelines, LLM agents, and MCP tools. Teleport gives every actor a cryptographic identity and enforces the same access controls, audit trail, and least-privilege policy across all of them.
Users, machines, workloads, and AI agents governed by the same identity model
Cryptographic identity and short-lived privileges for every actor — human or non-human — eliminate standing access and credential sprawl
Adopt AI and automation confidently — every agent and pipeline gets identity, policy, and a full audit trail from day one

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Teleport speed up infrastructure access for engineers?
After a user completes an SSO authentication flow, Teleport issues short-lived certificates that auto-expire without revocation. These certificates grant access to SSH servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, web applications, and cloud consoles through a single authentication event. Engineers do not manage passwords, SSH keys, or VPN connections.
How do engineers request elevated access when they need it?
Teleport provides just-in-time access requests that allow users to request access to a resource or role depending on need. Requests can be approved or denied based on a configurable number of approvers.
Does Teleport support existing engineering tools?
Yes. Engineers connect to resources through SSH, kubectl, database clients, or the Teleport CLI. Access requests and approvals integrate with Slack, PagerDuty, Jira, ServiceNow, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Mattermost, and Opsgenie.
How does Teleport reduce onboarding and offboarding time?
The SCIM integration synchronizes identity provider group memberships with Teleport Access Lists. When a user is assigned to an identity provider application, a corresponding Teleport account is created and role assignments are handled via RBAC. When a user is deprovisioned, Teleport immediately deletes the user account and creates a lock that terminates existing sessions and leaves no standing credentials.
How does Teleport simplify audit and compliance preparation?
Teleport collects access event data (login activity, metadata, session IDs) alongside recorded and replayable sessions for every SSH, desktop, or Kubernetes session. Sessions can be analyzed instantly using Session Recording Summaries. Audit events can be forwarded to log management platforms including Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, and Panther. Because authentication is certificate-based with automatic expiration, there are no static credentials or shared accounts to audit.
Does Teleport work across hybrid and multi-cloud environments?
Yes. Teleport automatically detects and enrolls resources across cloud providers. Supported environments include AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises, and self-hosted infrastructure.
