Privileged Access Management



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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.
Speed up provisioning and deprovisioning access for new team members.
Get rid of network segmentation and RBAC configuration hassles with zero-trust architecture and unified fleet management
Get rid of the hassle (and security risk) associated with managing passwords, API keys, tokens, and more.
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.
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.
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.
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.
