Overview

Enterprises are dealing with massive increases in complexity through a combination of shifts to the cloud, modernization of their IT stack, the growth of hybrid or mixed infrastructure environments, and the increase in remote work. At the same time, the concept of a network perimeter is dissolving as organizations realize the limitations of that method of security. To solve these challenges, Teleport provides the only cloud-native, identity-based infrastructure access solution for cloud workloads running in mixed environments.

A case study demonstrating Teleport’s approach to infrastructure access:
Growing a SaaS business means bringing on new verticals and selling more to existing
customers. The bigger the customers, the higher the stakes, and there is often no bigger customer than the federal government. But SaaS organizations must demonstrate FedRAMPcompliance in order to sell into this lucrative vertical.

A cloud-hosted database provider was looking to expand selling to the Federal Government but understood the need to demonstrate compliance with FedRAMP Moderate to run their cloud service on AWS GovCloud and list their service in the FedRAMP Marketplace.

Teleport enables SaaS providers to easily demonstrate Access, Identification, Authentication, and Audit controls necessary to show FedRAMP compliance. Additionally, the Teleport software itself builds against a FIPS 140-2 compliant library, a key requirement in FedRAMP compliance.

With Teleport, this multi-billion dollar publicly traded company was able to pass their independent FedRAMP audit. Additionally, because Teleport makes it simple to implement security best practices without getting in the way of developer productivity, their entire offering is more secure, enabling them to demonstrate security and compliance to other
important verticals like Financial Services, Healthcare, and more.
