We help companies stay secure while moving fast.
Built by engineers for engineers, The Teleport Access Platform delivers on-demand, least privileged access to infrastructure based on cryptographic identity and zero trust, with built-in identity security and policy governance, making the happy path for engineers the secure path.
Teleport is trusted by the worldâs fastest-moving companies, including Elastic, Discord, Doordash, and NASDAQ. We recently raised US$110M at a US$1.1B valuation.
Our Vision
Today's computing environments have too much complexity, too many network boundaries, and too little trust. Complexity slows engineers down and leads to human errors. Complex systems canât be secure despite the red tape of bureaucracy. We make trusted computing simple. This gives engineers the freedom to move and build a better future.
