Oakland, CA – August 6, 2025 – Teleport, a leader in infrastructure identity security, has been awarded the 2025 AI in Cybersecurity Innovation Award by TMCnet for its Infrastructure Identity Platform. The recognition highlights Teleport’s role in enabling secure, compliant adoption of AI technologies at scale—particularly for engineering and infrastructure teams managing both human and machine access.

The award honors Teleport’s innovation in securing AI workloads through trusted computing principles, cryptographic identities, zero trust networking, and granular RBAC/ABAC access controls. This integrated approach ensures that humans, machines, and AI agents operate within strict governance, full auditability, and compliance frameworks.

Why Teleport Won

• AI Security Leadership – Teleport’s platform enforces trusted computing principles for AI workloads, ensuring compliance, visibility, and protection against misuse

• Secure Model Context Protocol (Secure MCP) – A newly launched capability that applies cryptographic identity verification and zero trust principles to large language models (LLMs) and AI agents, ensuring they follow the same access governance rules as human users

• Unified Identity Framework – One platform for managing and securing identities across infrastructure assets, endpoints, workloads, and AI entities

Core Capabilities of the Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform

• Cryptographic Identities for All Entities – Humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents share a unified, verifiable identity model

• Zero Trust Networking – Every request is authenticated and authorized before access is granted

• Fine-Grained Policy Enforcement – RBAC/ABAC controls govern who or what can access infrastructure resources

• Full Audit Trails – Every interaction is logged for compliance, security monitoring, and forensic analysis

• Operational Efficiency – A vertically integrated identity stack eliminates tool silos and operational overhead

As organizations scale AI adoption, the risk of unmanaged AI agents and LLM integrations grows significantly. Teleport addresses this by treating AI workloads as first-class infrastructure identities, enabling:

• Consistent security across human and machine users.

• Compliance-readiness for AI-driven operations.

• Reduced attack surface for sensitive infrastructure and data.

Bottom Line

Teleport’s award-winning Infrastructure Identity Platform represents a next-generation approach to identity, access, and policy for AI-enabled enterprises. By merging AI workload protection with trusted computing, zero trust principles, and unified identity governance, Teleport empowers organizations to safely accelerate AI adoption without sacrificing security or compliance.
