Teleport builds a cryptographic identity and access management platform for cloud-native infrastructure, unifying human, machine, workload and AI agent identities under a single zero trust security model. The company was founded in 2015 as Gravitational and is headquartered in Oakland, California, with a globally distributed, remote-first workforce.
The company's flagship product, Teleport, grew out of an open-source SSH access tool into a full infrastructure access platform. It addresses credential sprawl through zero trust architecture, just-in-time access privileges and comprehensive audit trails. Its technical work spans cryptography, SSH access management, cloud-native infrastructure security, audit and compliance, and identity for AI agents.
Teleport operates in the cybersecurity, developer and DevOps tooling, cloud-native infrastructure, financial services and technology sectors. Customers include Nasdaq, DoorDash, Accenture and GitLab. The firm's founders are engineers who encountered the infrastructure access problem firsthand, and the company retains roots in open-source software.
