Teleport Launches Beams: Trusted Runtimes for AI Agents in Production Infrastructure
There’s a wall every engineering team hits when they try to move AI agents from demo to production: identity and access management. An agent needs credentials to do anything useful — database access, API keys, infrastructure permissions. But credentials that live inside an agent are credentials that can be leaked, stolen, or misused. Traditional IAM wasn’t designed for ephemeral, autonomous software actors.
