Teleport, recognised for its contributions to identity security, has been acknowledged as an IDC Innovator in the "IDC Innovators: Security for Agentic AI, 2025" report.
This recognition highlights its proficient methods in incorporating AI identity and access controls into its Infrastructure Identity Platform, thereby addressing security concerns faced by CISOs during AI adoption processes.
AI-specific tools
The report mentions that Teleport's approach offers a cohesive framework for governing AI agents similarly to human and machine identities, discarding the need for additional or separate solutions.
Teleport's CEO, Ev Kontsevoy, emphasised the issue of identity fragmentation in enterprise infrastructure, predicting that AI adoption will exacerbate this challenge. He warned that implementing AI-specific management tools might add to these vulnerabilities, increasing the risks of exploitation by malicious actors.

Teleport's system offers safety via cryptographic identities, quick claims, and audit-compliant session recording
Kontsevoy further noted that the IDC Innovator acknowledgment supports Teleport's mission to redefine identity security by recognising all identities equally. He conveyed that by synchronising human, machine, and AI identities into a single infrastructure-level platform, security teams can manage access efficiently.
Teleport's system offers security through cryptographic identities, temporary privileges, and audit-compliant session recording, enhancing capabilities for both engineering and security professionals.
LLM and AI interactions
Frank Dickson, Group Vice President of Security & Trust at IDC, highlighted the rise of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a connecting standard for AI tools and data, originally lacking inbuilt security measures. With MCP support incorporated into its platform, Teleport satisfies the need for authorised interactions between servers and large language models (LLMs).
This integration allows organisations to use the same security measures for AI as they do for human and machine identities, ensuring uniform application across all sectors including databases, servers, clouds, and more.
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.
