Teleport, which markets itself as the AI Infrastructure Identity company, announced today the addition of three capabilities to its platform: Beams Session Summaries, Agentic Classifiers, and Risk Scoring. All three are delivered through Beams, Teleport's runtime environment for agents, and are designed to address what the company describes as a gap in how zero trust was designed.
The argument behind the announcement is that zero trust security was built for humans: identifiable, bounded, and verifiable at the point of access. Agents operate differently. They are non-deterministic, can act in parallel, and a swarm of individually authorized actions can accumulate into an outcome nobody sanctioned. Teleport's new capabilities attempt to make that accumulated risk observable.
Beams Session Summaries produce a human-readable account of an agent's session: its identity, privileges, tool and API calls, LLM prompts, responses, and reasoning. Agentic Classifiers let organisations define policy for individual agents or groups, and flag behaviour that diverges from a declared objective. Risk Scoring extends that classification to SSH, Kubernetes, and database sessions, maps actions to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and automates search across sessions for specific commands or behaviours.
"Zero trust assumes the actors inside the architecture are human, bounded, and verifiable at the point of access. Agents break that assumption. They're not predictable, and a swarm of individually authorized actions can add up to an outcome no one sanctioned."
— Ben Arent, Director of Product, Teleport
Teleport frames the three capabilities as an operational implementation of what it calls agent trust principles: verify continuously rather than at the point of access, bound collective autonomy rather than just individual access, and treat misalignment as a running assumption rather than a theoretical failure mode.
The capabilities will be previewed at Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas from 4-6 August, with customer hands-on availability planned for autumn.
