Access AWS RDS Databases in EKS Using Teleport Machine ID Without Passwords

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.

Privileged Access for Modern Infrastructure: The Top Four Challenges

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.

How Database Access Controls Evolved to Meet Modern Security Needs

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.

Why Secure Infrastructure Access Must Evolve: Insights from Teleport's 2024 Survey

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.
