Teleport has launched its runtime environment, Teleport Beams, for AI agents operating on production infrastructure. The tool aims to address security gaps in agent deployment, such as the lack of delegated identity and comprehensive audit trails.
Each agent runs in its own ephemeral micro-VM called a Beam. These environments inherit identities from the user or agent that launched them, while starting with no standing privileges. Execution plans require approval from a human or a large language model before the Beam proceeds with specific roles.
The platform logs all protocol exchanges and tracks agent activity against the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Users can define custom detection rules in natural language. Features include a kill switch for immediate connection termination and a snapshot system called Phases to maintain state across jobs.
Teleport’s infrastructure identity platform is currently used by over 700 enterprises, including Nasdaq, DoorDash, and Elastic. In August, Cisco Systems became the company's largest strategic investor. The Beams product follows a public beta and is now available at beams.run.
