Teleport Co-Founder and CEO Ev Kontsevoy discusses the security vs productivity trade-off that plagues growing companies and how Teleport's trusted computing model protects against the exponential growth of cybersecurity threats.

Topics Include:

  • Traditional security vs productivity trade-off: high security kills team efficiency
  • Companies buy every security solution but still get told they're at risk
  • Why "crown jewels" thinking fails: computers should protect everything at scale
  • Modern infrastructure has too many access paths to enumerate and secure
  • Apple's PCC specification shows trusted computing working in real production environments
  • AI revolutionizes both offensive and defensive cybersecurity capabilities for everyone
  • 80% of companies can't guarantee they've removed all ex-employee access
  • Identity fragmentation across systems creates anonymous relationships and security gaps
  • Human error probability grows exponentially as companies scale in three dimensions
  • Your laptop already demonstrates trusted computing: seamless access without constant logins
  • Apple ecosystem shows device trust at scale through secure enclaves
  • AI agents need trusted identities just like humans and machines
  • AWS marketplace partnership accelerates deals and provides strategic account insights
  • Hire someone who understands partnership dynamics before starting with AWS
  • Generative AI will make identity attacks cheaper and faster than ever
  • Security responsibility shifting from IT teams to platform engineering teams
  • Teleport's "steady state invariant": infrastructure locked down except during authorized work
  • Temporary access granted through tickets, then automatically revoked after completion
  • Legacy systems and IoT devices require extending trust models beyond cloud-native
