Teleport - Experts & Thought Leaders

Teleport is excited to announce it has been named the winner of Rising Star Partner of the Year, recognising Teleport as a top Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner that has seen significant YoY growth in its technology business. Announced during the Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent 2025, the Geographic and Global AWS Partner Awards recognise a wide range of AWS Partners that have embraced specialisation, innovation, and cooperation over the past year. Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards recognise partners whose business models continue to evolve and thrive on AWS as they support their customers. Infrastructure identity approach “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,” said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO at Teleport. “By unifying trusted identities for humans, machines, and AI, teams can secure access across multi-cloud and AI-native environments at massive scale. This infrastructure identity approach, which includes deep integration with AWS, strengthens infrastructure resiliency and reduces complexity, enabling customers to accelerate their pace of innovation.” Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards The Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards included a self-nomination process across several award categories, awarded at both the geographic and global levels. All AWS Partners were invited to participate and submit a nomination. Award submissions were reviewed by a third-party, Canalys, and selected with special emphasis placed on customer success use cases. Data-driven award categories In addition, there were several data-driven award categories, which were evaluated by a unique set of metrics that helped measure AWS Partners’ performance over the past year. Canalys audited the datasets used to ensure that all measurements and calculations were objective and accurate. Finalists represented the top three-ranked AWS Partners across each category. The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global program focused on helping partners innovate, accelerate their journey to the cloud, and take full advantage of the breadth and depth of AWS.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Atlanta, Teleport, the pioneer in Infrastructure Identity, announced expanded support for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) within its Identity Security product. The new integration provides organisations with unprecedented visibility into Amazon EKS cluster activity, enabling teams to identify shadow access, privilege escalation, and identity-based risks across their managed Kubernetes environments. Teleport’s enhanced EKS support debuts at KubeCon, where the company will showcase how engineering and security teams can unify access intelligence across AWS and Kubernetes to strengthen Zero Trust architectures. Bringing identity-aware security to Amazon EKS The new Amazon EKS integration extends Teleport’s Access Graph and Investigate capabilities to include EKS-specific audit logs, enabling users to visualise who has access to Kubernetes clusters and what actions are being taken, even when access occurs through AWS credentials rather than through Teleport directly. “Organisations running Amazon EKS have struggled to gain a unified view of access activity across their cloud and Kubernetes layers,” said Ben Arent, Director of Product for Teleport. “By consolidating Amazon EKS audit data into Teleport Identity Security - Identity Activity Centre, we help customers expose and eliminate hidden identity risks — from shadow user access to users abusing service accounts — before they become incidents.” Identity context from AWS IAM Until now, traditional Kubernetes security tools have focused on enforcing access policies without full visibility into how clusters are being used. While audit trails and session recordings provided some coverage, they couldn’t expose alternative access pathways or unaudited activity in complex cloud environments. Teleport’s new Amazon EKS Audit Log Integration pulls telemetry from AWS CloudWatch, enriching it with identity context from AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and enterprise identity providers. This holistic view lets teams correlate user identities across systems, ensuring that every action in an EKS environment can be tied back to a verified individual. Benefits for platform and security teams With EKS Identity Security, teams can now: Visualize cluster access paths through the Teleport Access Graph Investigate activity across AWS, Teleport Zero-Trust Access and Amazon EKS in a single unified view Detect shadow access and identity-based anomalies in real time Prove access control enforcement for compliance and audit readiness The result is simplified compliance, stronger security posture, and improved collaboration between platform engineering and security operations teams. Availability The Amazon EKS Identity Security enhancements will be available for on-premises Teleport deployments in November 2025, with Teleport Cloud support following in Q4 as part of minor version update to Teleport 18.

Teleport, a pioneering provider of identity security solutions for engineering and infrastructure teams, has been named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Security for Agentic AI, 2025 (doc # US53737325, September 2025) report. According to the report, “Teleport brings a pragmatic approach to securing agentic AI by embedding AI identity and access controls directly into its Infrastructure Identity Platform. For CISOs navigating the complexity of AI adoption, this means AI agents are governed with the same rigour as human and machine identities — no bolt-on solutions and no new silos.” AI-specific tools “Enterprise infrastructure already suffers from identity fragmentation, and this challenge will only intensify as AI adoption grows,” said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO of Teleport.  “Each new technology requires a different tool to manage access. Adding AI-specific tools that treat AI identities separately from human and machine identities will only create more blind spots for malicious actors to exploit.” Engineering and security teams Kontsevoy added, “We believe being named an IDC Innovator validates what we are doing at Teleport. Changing the way enterprises secure their identities by treating them all equally is making the industry more secure. By unifying human, machine, and AI identities into a single layer directly at the infrastructure level, security teams need only one system to manage access across all identity types." Teleport's platform enables engineering and security teams to secure AI with cryptographically-backed identity, short-lived privileges, and audit-grade session recording. Teleport can further pair access and governance guardrails with observability, eliminating teams to identify and eliminate suspicious activity. LLM and AI interactions “Model Context Protocol is rapidly becoming the standard for connecting AI agents with the tools and data they need, but it was never designed with security in mind,” said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust at IDC. “As enterprises adopt MCP to build AI systems, they need a way to ensure interactions between servers and LLMs are traceable and authorised. Teleport solves this need by integrating MCP support into its Infrastructure Identity Platform.” Organisations can secure LLM and AI interactions with their databases, using the same platform that also secures servers, clouds, Kubernetes, Windows desktops, GitHub, and Web applications. This enables organisations to apply the same robust identity and access controls that govern human and machine identities to AI agents.
