Teleport 17 Centralizes Infrastructure Access Management Apr 4, 2025 Teleport , the global provider of modern access to infrastructure, is launching the Teleport 17 update designed specifically to ease management burdens for infrastructure teams. Teleport—the platform for securing access to and protecting enterprise infrastructures—is debuting a plethora of new features for streamlining access controls and permissions at scale for both human and machine identities. With many modern infrastructure teams dealing with thousands of different services and accounts to track, consolidation is key. Teleport’s latest update particularly targets a common challenge in connecting to multiple AWS accounts, where with newfound support for AWS IAM Identity Center, organizations can more easily manage their AWS instances. This tight integration between Teleport Access Platform and AWS IAM Identity Center affords AWS administrators control over AWS access through Teleport, streamlining control over multiple AWS accounts. “Large enterprises will significantly benefit from this update as their employees will have multiple AWS cloud accounts for different purposes. What Teleport does is consolidate all these identities into one so AWS administrators can now grant access with only one click,” said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO at Teleport. “This integration makes one-click access possible for AWS Administrators. It also breaks down identity silos that introduce risk into IT infrastructure.” Outside of its AWS integration, Teleport 17 also offers: Multi-region high availability, offering multi-region failover in nine availability zones with uptime of 99.99%, ensuring organizations’ operations remain available in the event of disruption Increased oversight, control, and audit of access privileges across the enterprise that help reduce the management overhead of configuring and auditing role-based access controls (RBAC) Workload identities that drive trusted communication between cloud workloads and services New cryptographic signature algorithms for strengthening security posture Broadened support for external hardware private keys, such as YubiKey, for securing communications Deeper integration with Okta, Terraform Cloud, and GitHub, allowing enterprises to further unify their access strategies without disrupting existing workflows “The larger the organization, the more costly and difficult it becomes to secure infrastructure in an efficient, scalable, and resilient way,” said Alexander Klizhentas, CTO at Teleport. “Resiliency, in particular, should be top of mind for any engineering and infrastructure teams maintaining round-the-clock operations. You can’t afford not to ask ‘What’s the worst thing that could happen to my infrastructure? What would the damage be?’ One of our goals with Teleport 17 is to make infrastructure immune to any potential damage from breaches. We want every head of infrastructure and security to be able to meet their resiliency goals with confidence.” “The scale and complexity of computing infrastructure creates overhead and risk,” added Kontsevoy. “Managing access, identities, and policies across the many thousands of diverse infrastructure resources that large enterprises juggle across platforms and regions is extremely daunting. Traditional access solutions frequently falter under that complexity, introducing inefficiencies and security risks. The proof is in the many record-breaking data breaches that have happened in 2024 . With Teleport 17, we’re making secure infrastructure access at scale an achievable objective for large enterprises.” To learn more about Teleport 17, please visit https://goteleport.com/ .
