Legacy Privileged Access Workflows Slow Down Engineers

Modern infrastructure is dynamic, cloud-native, ephemeral, and highly complex, with containers and microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and service accounts spanning clouds and datacenters. Privileged access that relies on static credentials and standing privileges does not fit these dynamic environments, slowing down engineering teams and embedding security risks.

Tired of waiting for approvals?

Engineers shouldn’t have to pause progress for access approvals. Workflows designed for business apps don't move at engineering speed. Delays can stretch from hours to days, stalling progress.

Focus on projects, not permissions

Legacy PAM tools waste valuable time on manual tasks, distracting engineers from work that matters. Teams need solutions that fit into existing workflows, not ones that add friction and overhead.

Skip the setup. Get to building.

Manual setup and repetitive configurations impede productivity. Engineers need a scalable solution that adapts to their environment automatically, so they can get back to building, not battling access issues.

The Infrastructure Identity Advantage

Teleport modernizes access control for both users and machines with cryptographic identity, zero trust, and ephemeral privileges, removing credentials and standing privileges as an attack vector.

We used to go through multiple steps just to access cloud resources, and now it happens almost instantly. Our engineers are really happy with the significant improvement in their workflow.

FOR SECURITY TEAMS

Secure modern infrastructure

Eliminate credentials and standing privileges as an attack vector, with access control that unifies cryptographic identity, zero trust, and ephemeral privileges. Add identity governance and identity security to harden identity, lock users, and detect and mitigate hidden access path risks.

Cryptographic identities

Secure users, machines, devices, and resources with identities authenticated and governed by biometrics or other physical world attributes such as HSMs or TPM monitors.

Zero-trust authentication

Eliminate the need for VPNs and network security. Each access request is governed by zero trust authentication and encryption, extending to all users, machines, and resources.

Ephemeral privileges

Enforce least privilege for all your infrastructure resources including Linux & Windows servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, and internal applications. Every connection is secured by secretless authentication and ephemeral authorization.

Unified, dynamic access

No need to juggle complex access paths or credentials. Developers only need to authenticate to Teleport to access the infrastructure resources they are authorized for.

Use your preferred tools

Initiate on-demand access requests using the tools they know and trust – including Slack, Jira, and PagerDuty – and can work directly with infrastructure using client tools such as kubectl.

Accelerate just-in-time access requests

Approve or deny just-in-time access requests via ChatOps, Slack, PagerDuty – or, set up automated approval workflows based on context such as role, device or time.

FOR ENGINEERING LEADERS

Reduce operational complexity

Eliminate credentials and standing privileges as an attack vector, with access control that unifies cryptographic identity, zero trust, and ephemeral privileges. Add identity governance and identity security to harden identity, lock users, and detect and mitigate hidden access path risks.

Streamline on-boarding and offboarding

Speed up provisioning and deprovisioning access for new team members.

Eliminate VPNs and bastion hosts

Get rid of network segmentation and RBAC configuration hassles with zero-trust architecture and unified fleet management

Eliminate credential handling burden

Get rid of the hassle (and security risk) associated with managing passwords, API keys, tokens, and more.

Capture fine-grained audit logs

Make audit preparation and forensic investigation a breeze with security logs that capture full identity, protocol, and resource context showing what happened and who’s responsible.

Centralize data

No need to collect data from every machine or multiple systems -- it's all in one place. Export to any SIEM or threat detection platforms (including Teleport Identity Security!) for further analysis.

Session moderation & dual authorization

Highly privileged sessions can be required to always include a moderator. Leverage dual authorization for security controls such as FedRAMP AC-3 and SOC 2 which require that highly privileged actions be approved by multiple authorized team members.

FOR COMPLIANCE TEAMS

Reduce audit risk and complexity

Take the pain and risk out of audits with advanced logging and session replay features – critical requirements for meeting compliance standards such as FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and more.

Teleport collects and records all events generated by humans and machines across every component of your infrastructure.
