Teleport

Founded 2015

Secure access to servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters without shared credentials or standing privileges

You can use Teleport to manage secure access to your computing infrastructure without relying on static passwords or VPNs. It provides zero-trust connectivity across Linux servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, and internal web applications. Instead of managing static SSH keys or credentials, your team receives short-lived cryptographic certificates linked to single sign-on identities. Teleport records every terminal session, database query, and access request for compliance auditing. It also lets you control automated processes, developer access requests, and autonomous AI agents through just-in-time access approvals.
