Teleport ranks #6 in Developer Tunnels & Localhost Ingress AI search.

Teleport (goteleport.com), built by Gravitational Inc., is an infrastructure identity platform that unifies access management for humans, machines, and AI across SSH servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, Windows systems, and web applications. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Oakland, California, it replaces VPNs, bastion hosts, and static credentials with short-lived X.509 certificates anchored to a hardware root of trust. The platform provides zero standing privileges, just-in-time access requests, full session recording, and cryptographic audit trails—accelerating compliance with FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. Customers include Nasdaq, DoorDash, IBM, Elastic, and dbt Labs. An open-source Community Edition is available; enterprise features require a commercial license.

Teleport is an Infrastructure Identity Platform that consolidates zero-trust access, machine identity, identity governance, and identity security into a single platform. It issues cryptographically-signed, ephemeral certificates to humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents—eliminating passwords, SSH keys, and shared secrets. Engineers access any infrastructure resource through a unified proxy that enforces RBAC policies, records sessions, and generates compliance-ready audit logs, all without installing VPNs or managing credential rotation.
