Teleport, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Oakland, California, operates as a globally distributed, remote-first company focused on cryptographic identity and access management for cloud-native infrastructure. The company provides a platform that unifies human, machine, workload, and AI agent identities under a single security model, aiming to eliminate credential sprawl through zero trust architecture, just-in-time access privileges, and comprehensive audit trails.
The platform, which evolved from an open-source tool, addresses core challenges in SSH access, cloud-native security, and security compliance. It integrates capabilities across identity and access management and cryptography to secure engineering workflows and infrastructure.
Teleport's technology is used by organizations including Nasdaq, DoorDash, Accenture, and GitLab. The company's workforce is globally distributed, reflecting its remote-first operational model.
