Teleport Identity Activity Center: See Every Identity Action

“Attackers no longer hack in. They log in.”

That’s the harsh reality for today’s cloud-first enterprises. Credentials — not exploits — are now the most common entry point. And yet, most security teams are still stuck stitching together identity data from fragmented tools and logs.

Teleport’s new Identity Activity Center changes that. It lets you trace every identity action across users, roles, tokens, and sessions — from login to lateral movement — in a single, correlated view.

The Identity Gap in Modern Cloud Security

What changed:

• The network perimeter is dead — replaced by identity-based access across cloud, SaaS, and infrastructure

• Every engineer, bot, and workload authenticates via identities: users, roles, service accounts, and tokens

• But security tooling hasn’t kept up. Data is fragmented. Investigations are slow. And insider threats are rising

Result: We know who logged in… but not what they actually did.

What Security Leaders Are Saying

From interviews with 50+ CISOs and heads of platform security:

• 53% of incidents are identity-based

• 40+ identity gaps were common: stale tokens, shared creds, orphaned service accounts

• Cloud breach root-cause often hidden across disconnected logs

• Compliance pressure demands provable least privilege and traceability

Identity risk is no longer just an IT issue — it’s a governance issue.

Teleport Identity Activity Center

Teleport Identity Activity Center is a new addition to Teleport Identity Security — and it's built for real-time, end-to-end identity investigations.

While most tools show snapshots or disjointed logs, Identity Activity Center shows the movie:

• Every login

• Every group change

• Every token or session

• Every cloud API call

Correlated, searchable, identity-linked.

You don’t just see “who accessed what” — you understand how they got there, where they moved, and what permissions they escalated.
