Infrastructure identity approach
The CEO of Teleport, Ev Kontsevoy, expressed pride in receiving the award, stating, “To be recognised as a Rising Star Partner of the Year is a testimony to Teleport’s continuous growth and our company vision for securing infrastructure at scale.”
Teleport's approach focuses on unifying trusted identities for humans, machines, and artificial intelligence, enhancing security across multi-cloud and AI-native environments.

Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards
Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards invited participation from all AWS Partners via a self-nomination process
The Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards invited participation from all AWS Partners through a self-nomination process. Partners could submit their applications across various categories, allowing for recognition at both geographic and global levels.
The nomination process and subsequent selections were overseen by Canalys, a third-party evaluator, with a focus on customer success stories playing a pivotal role in the selection process.
Data-driven award categories
Apart from self-nominated categories, the awards featured several data-driven segments that assessed partner performance using specific metrics. Canalys ensured the integrity and objectivity of these metrics by reviewing the data, which determined the standing of partners within each category.
The top three AWS Partners in every category were identified as finalists, showcasing their outstanding performance and achievements within the AWS ecosystem.
The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global initiative to assist partners in innovating and advancing in their cloud journeys, capitalising on the vast offerings of AWS.
