Our take
For the millions of companies that have complex layers of tech, Teleport offers a single sign-on bringing discovery and instant access to these layers. This means freedom from having to hop between VPNs and multiple access points while handling shared secrets and sensitive data.
This enables engineers to quickly access any computing resource anywhere on the planet, bringing a unification of access to SSH servers, Kubernetes clusters, and web applications across all environments. It's a smart move because complexity and security go hand in hand - slow engineers leave companies open to poor safety standards.
Trusted by organisations like Airtable, Samsung, and Auth0, Teleport is the unified access plane of choice among many leading companies. It continues to update the platform with new features, such as adding a string of improvements to deal with the security challenges arising from remote work environments. Teleport has also raised significant funding that is supporting the expansion of the team and enhancing its product development.
