Teleport Named Winner in the categories of Agentic Trust, Identity Security, and Cybersecurity Identity Governance in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 14th Annual InfoSec Awards during CyberDefenseCon 2026OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teleport is proud to announce we have been named the winner for the following awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM): Transformational Agentic Trust, Trailblazing Cybersecurity Identity Governance, and The Most Promising Identity Security. “We’re thrilled to be a member of this coveted group of winners in the 14th year of Cyber Defense Awards, during CyberDefenseCon 2026. We knew the competition would be tough and with top judges who are leading infosec experts from around the globe, we couldn’t be more pleased,” said Ev Kontesevy, CEO and co-founder of Teleport. “Teleport embodies three major features we judges look for: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine. Teleport’s recognition reflects accelerating enterprise demand for infrastructure identity, a foundational architectural shift in how identities are secured and managed in production infrastructure. As AI agents join humans, machines, and workloads as a new actor in production infrastructure, the number of identities is growing exponentially. Teleport establishes a unified identity layer, where every actor – human, machine, workload, or AI agent – receives a cryptographic identity anchored to a hardware root of trust, with short-lived privileges that expire on task completion.

By replacing fragmented identity and access management systems with Infrastructure Identity, Teleport scales zero trust across cloud and on-prem environments, eliminating the complexity and risk created by identity fragmentation and credential sprawl. Teleport protects infrastructure from identity attacks, accelerates engineering by reducing infrastructure complexity, and secures non-deterministic agentic workflows. Headquartered in Oakland, CA, Teleport operates globally, with industry-leading customers such as Nasdaq, IBM, Carta, and Elastic. For more information, visit goteleport.com or follow @goteleport.
