Teleport named an Overall Leader in 2026 KuppingerCole Analysts Leadership Compass for Zero Trust Platforms. Recognition reinforces Teleport's leadership in enabling resilient infrastructure at scale, critical for the agentic era. July 13, 2026 12:30 ET | Source: Teleport OAKLAND, Calif., July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Teleport, the AI Infrastructure Identity company, today announced it is recognized as an Overall Leader in KuppingerCole Analysts 2026 Leadership Compass for Zero Trust Platforms. Teleport pioneered Infrastructure Identity, a zero trust architecture that eliminates identity fragmentation, static credentials, and static privileges, establishing a unified identity layer for humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents, backed cryptographically by a hardware root of trust. With Teleport, just-in-time privileges reduce blast radius and prevent lateral movement. The market adoption of Teleport's platform and architecture garnered recognition in the #2 spot for Product, and Innovation Leadership. Alexei Balaganski, KuppingerCole Lead Analyst & CTO noted, "Teleport demonstrates overall leadership through its strong infrastructure identity architecture, short-lived certificate model, mature access workflows, and depth of coverage. Its focus on secretless access and machine identity governance aligns closely with the direction of the Zero Trust Platforms market." "Zero trust takes on even more importance as we move into the agentic era," said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO of Teleport. "Our unified identity architecture enables enterprises to responsibly deploy large numbers of agents that operate at machine speed with human-like unpredictability. Enterprise leaders are under pressure to deliver on their AI roadmaps, but security is the bottleneck. We eliminate this bottleneck. Companies driving agent innovation must first solve the identity problem. Our solution treats hardware, software, people and agents as equal first class citizens." About Teleport Teleport, the AI Infrastructure Identity Company, prepares organizations for an AI future by delivering a unified identity layer for infrastructure - humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents - that is cryptographically secured. By replacing fragmented identity and access management systems and static credentials with Infrastructure Identity, Teleport scales zero trust across cloud and on-prem environments. This approach prevents identity attacks, accelerates engineering, and secures non-deterministic agentic workflows. For more information, visit goteleport.com or follow @goteleport.

Teleport unveils AI agent security features. Teleport introduces LLM Proxy and Delegated Identity in its Beams public beta, enhancing security and control in AI agent deployments. * Monday, 22nd June 2026 Posted 2 days ago in AI Cloud + MS Digital Business Security + Compliance by Katy Hill The announcement describes a development in AI infrastructure as Teleport introduces two components in its Agentic Identity Framework: the LLM Proxy and Delegated Identity. These are presented as addressing challenges in AI agent deployments by incorporating identity, access control, and auditing at both the decision-making and permissions levels. Historically, a large portion of AI development has focused on LLM gateways - systems that manage traffic, cost, and prompts in front of model providers. By contrast, oversight of agent behavior when interacting with production infrastructure has received less attention. The LLM Proxy is described as adding an enforcement layer connected to identity and zero trust systems that govern access to infrastructure such as databases and cloud APIs. LLM Proxy: Control of Agent Actions The LLM Proxy functions as an intermediary between an agent and its inference endpoint. It provides visibility and enforcement at the point where agent requests are made, checking each request and response and logging them into Teleport's audit trail. With an allow-list mechanism, it can restrict which agents are permitted to access specific inference endpoints, and records are maintained for auditing purposes. Delegated Identity: Scoped Access Control Delegated Identity allows operators or systems to assign defined permissions that determine what an agent can access. Instead of broad or persistent credentials, an agent is given a specific delegated identity tied to particular tasks. Activity is logged and associated with the originating identity and task, supporting a least-privilege access model. This approach is intended to reduce exposure if an agent is compromised, by enforcing scoped, time-bound access patterns aligned with zero trust and just-in-time (JIT) access principles. The capabilities are available through the Beams public beta and are positioned as part of the Agentic Identity Framework for use in production-oriented environments.

Teleport has launched a public beta of Beams, introducing two key features for securing AI agents in production environments: LLM Proxy and Delegated Identity. These capabilities address critical gaps in agent deployment by adding identity, access control and audit functions. The LLM Proxy sits between agents and inference endpoints, inspecting every request and response whilst enforcing controls over which agents can access specific endpoints. All activity is logged to create a tamper-resistant audit trail. Delegated Identity allows operators or agents to assign scoped permissions to individual agents for specific tasks, implementing least-privilege access and zero trust principles. This limits potential damage if an agent is compromised. Both features are available now through Beams at beams.run, forming part of Teleport's Agentic Identity Framework for infrastructure security.
