With Teleport 15.2, we’ve added a preview for Teleport Workload Identity. Teleport Workload Identity lets teams bootstrap and issue identities to services across heterogeneous environments and organizational boundaries. A core value of Teleport comes from having a central access platform, and we believe that humans and machine access need to join and access using the same zero-trust best practices.

We open sourced Teleport in 2015 with a mission to secure access to infrastructure. It has since become a popular open source project with over 15,000 GitHub stars and is licensed under AGPLv3. We have been offering the stable releases of the Teleport Community Edition binaries and images distributed under the permissive Apache 2.0 license.

Teleport is an open source company. We develop in the open, including full disclosure of security issues in our changelogs and pull requests. We share our penetration tests and key compliance reports. Despite this, our communication to open source users and integration with automated security tooling needed improvement. We needed a standardized way to refer to our vulnerabilities so that when two people (or systems) talk about a vulnerability, they know they’re talking about the same thing.

In 2024, I hope to see significant growth and renewed optimism in the tech sector. Personally, I’m looking forward to the year ahead with positivity as Teleport enters an important period and a packed pipeline of significant enhancements to the platform. These capabilities are increasingly critical to a threat landscape that is centered on attacking identity and exploiting human behavior.

It’s that time again — for a brand new major release. Our team releases major versions of Teleport every 4 months. This post goes into more detail about the release, breaking changes, bug fixes and improvements. We have received feedback that our shipping frequency can make it tricky to stay up to date with the latest upgrades.

Hello Teleport Community! For the first newsletter of 2024, I’m going to keep it short but focus on some key things to be on the lookout for in the next few months. Firstly, we’ll continue on our 3-month release cycle, with Teleport 15 being released on Jan. 29th.

Is Santa an insider threat? He breaks into your home, consumes cookies, drinks milk/whisky and leaves a collection of items hidden behind highly decorated wrapping paper. Rumor has it that he can tell if you’re naughty or nice and is actively tracked by NORAD. Can we trust Santa with his elevated access? The answer is, of course, Yes, because we are all Santa. Santa is ultimate trusted Certificate Authority, entrusting intermediate trust to parents worldwide.

Amazon EC2 is the most popular cloud computing environment and powers a great part of the Internet. Accessing EC2 Instances is done using SSH, which typically involves generating and managing SSH Keys. This is not easy when you have a large fleet/team.

We began working on Teleport with a vision to make trusted computing a reality for everyone, even for people without large budgets. That’s why we open sourced Teleport in 2015. Achieving this lofty goal takes a lot of work, which in turn requires capital. That is why we founded Teleport as a company and started to offer premium features required by enterprises. Thus, we must strike a delicate balance between benefiting the community and succeeding as a business.
