Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform modernizes identity, access, and policy for infrastructure, improving engineering velocity and infrastructure resiliency against human factors and compromise.
Teleport Machine & Workload Identity, part of the Teleport Platform, secures machine and workload access to systems and data by issuing short-lived cryptographic identities to machines and workloads.
Key use cases include:
-
Eliminate Static Credentials – Securely push artifacts and deploy code without hard-coding credentials. Authorize access only during the period of time that work is being performed.
-
Secure CI / CD Pipelines – Securely push artifacts and deploy code without hard-coding credentials. Authorize access only during the period of time that work is being performed.
-
Secure Inter-Service Communication – Enable mutual TLS (mTLS) connections, governed by fine-grained access policies between microservices and service meshes.
-
Protect Data and Achieve Compliance – Ensure that only authorized services can access protected data stores and APIs, with data exportable to SIEMs for compliance reporting & review.
Teleport Machine & Workload Identity reduces friction for engineers by removing the task of secrets administration and unifying access control across hybrid cloud environments, unifies human and non-human access policies, and hardens security by eliminating static, over-privileged credentials in service accounts.
