Companies may scale their cloud resources in pursuit of product, cost, or process innovation. However, this does not come without a cost of its own. The resulting infrastructure complexity, created from a growing sprawl of access silos, can introduce friction into engineer and security workflows.

At Teleport we love modern infrastructure and open-source software, but don't like static credentials and passwords. This created a challenge for us when deploying Temporal, an open-source workflow automation software on EKS: Temporal always requires a password to authenticate to the backend RDS database. To solve this problem, we turned to Teleport Machine & Workload Identity.

As organizations have transitioned from legacy IT infrastructure to cloud-native, ephemeral modern infrastructure, the needs of how privileged access is handled have shifted, too. Modern infrastructure presents unique challenges that legacy Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools, originally architected for more static environments, weren’t designed to handle. In this post, we explore why characteristics of modern infrastructure require a modern approach to PAM.

Teleport's Database Access Controls (DAC) have always been designed to offer secure, auditable access to databases. But in today's rapidly evolving security landscape, simply having access controls isn't enough. Organizations need more granular control, better visibility, and seamless integration with existing security policies. This post explores how Teleport's latest features—object-level permissions and Teleport Policy integration—address these needs.

89% of organizations suffered at least one security incident in the past three years, according to The 2024 State of Secure Infrastructure Access, a new survey of 250 security and engineering leaders. The rise of cloud computing, the surge of identity-based attacks, and increasing regulatory compliance concerns have forced companies to rethink how they handle security, productivity, and compliance.

The Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive’s deadline of October 17th has officially passed. Yet despite this deadline – and the strict penalties in place for non-compliance – nearly 66% of businesses operating in Europe have likely not implemented the necessary compliance controls (Veeam Software). Additionally, the majority of EU member states have yet to officially codify NIS2 standards into their national laws.

We are living in the era of Kubernetes. It is hard to find anyone who has not heard of it and in all likelihood you are using it, too. And if you are using Kubernetes, it is probably also safe to assume that you areusing CI/CD to deploy your applications into it. However, as CI/CD and Kubernetes have grown in popularity, the number of bad actors looking to exploit weaknesses in them has grown too.

The complexity and scale of computing infrastructure has exploded in recent years. In larger organizations, managing access, identities, and policies for people and machines to securely access diverse infrastructure resources – such as physical machines and servers, clouds, software apps, services, APIs – is a daunting task. The larger the organization, the more costly and difficult it becomes to wrangle the complexity of this infrastructure in a way that is secure, efficient, and resilient.

Did you know that 3 out of 4 enterprises say that securing access to infrastructure is getting more difficult each year? As environments grow more complex and identity-based attacks evolve, security and IT teams are feeling the strain, all while developer productivity is impacted. The 2024 State of Secure Infrastructure Access report dives into these challenges and reveals critical insights in access control practices, their effectiveness, and the significant gaps between top-performing organizations and security novices.

Organizations often find that as they deploy their K8S infrastructure into production and across their company, what worked well for managing access during development does not scale efficiently. Research shows that this often leads to serious security risks including breaches. So, new access challenges emerge, particularly as teams scale. Join us for a 30-minute deep dive into how to secure access to Kubernetes-based environments including clusters, databases, and applications in a scalable way.

Identity Platforms (IdP) provide organizations with incredible convenience with Single Sign-On (SSO). However, if IdPs are compromised, the ‘keys to the castle’ can be left vulnerable, making the rest of the organization’s infrastructure vulnerable as well.

With their rapidly changing architecture and API-driven automation, cloud platforms come with unique security challenges and opportunities. This hands-on book guides you through security best practices for multivendor cloud environments, whether your company plans to move legacy on-premises projects to the cloud or build a new infrastructure from the ground up.

While SSH has always been a popular attack vector, the increased adoption of elastic, cloud infrastructure and dynamic, micro-service architecture using containerized application services (aka, "cloud-native" applications), has resulted in the additional complexity of having application services that can migrate across dynamic server infrastructure. This makes managing access to applications and their infrastructure through SSH more complicated and more prone to security threats.

In this paper, we will provide a brief description of what SSM Session Manager is and how it compares to Gravitational's Teleport privileged access management solution. We'll compare the significant design and feature differences and the operational overhead of the solutions. Because Session Manager is limited to AWS, we'll limit the scope of the discussion to that cloud provider. Finally, we have provided a feature matrix of the two solutions.
