Cisco and Teleport Team Up on Infrastructure Identity
The traditional model of networking and identity management is no longer sufficient for modern enterprises. For decades, networks have been identity-agnostic, allowing packets to move based on addresses rather than the entities behind them.
However, with the increasing presence of workloads, automation, and AI agents in infrastructure, the identity problem has become more complex. It's no longer just about a person logging into an application; it extends to every actor that can reach valuable resources.
Cisco and Teleport are announcing a strategic partnership to tackle this evolving complexity. They will integrate their technologies, provide licensing and investment, and empower organizations to transition from credential-reliant workflows to a unified model of 'Infrastructure Identity.'
