Incident Investigations Across GitHub, AWS, Okta, and More

Security teams are losing valuable time piecing together fragmented logs across GitHub, AWS, Okta, and SaaS platforms when investigating incidents. Each system records activity differently, forcing teams into hours—or even days—of manual correlation. Teleport Identity Security changes the game by unifying these identity signals into a single, searchable timeline, making complex investigations actionable in minutes.

Why Investigations Take Too Long

• SIEM Limitations: SIEMs aggregate logs but lack identity context, making it hard to trace how privileges are inherited or misused.
• CNAPP Blind Spots: CNAPPs flag misconfigurations but don’t reveal what actually happened during an active incident.
• Identity Sprawl: Engineers, service accounts, and tokens generate overlapping privileges across systems, creating hidden access pathways that attackers exploit.

Teleport’s Speedrun Approach

Teleport unifies identity activity across your full stack—GitHub, AWS, Okta, databases, Kubernetes, and more. This allows teams to:

• Investigate leaked tokens: Collapse a 14-hour manual process into two minutes by instantly tracing where and how tokens were used.
• Trace identities across systems: See the complete journey from an Okta service account, through AWS IAM roles, into sensitive workloads.
• Expose hidden access paths: Map group memberships, wildcard roles, and orphaned keys that silently expand the attack surface.

Real-World Impact

• Reduced investigation timelines from hours to minutes.
• Clear, auditable identity activity timelines.
• Faster containment with automatic detection of abnormal queries, role assumptions, and token misuse.

Why this matters

Identity-based attacks are rising, and fragmented tooling can’t keep up. Teleport Identity Security delivers a new standard: investigations that once took hours now take minutes.
