Security vs Agility (10)
A
The core challenge for teams today is the tension between the agility of their engineers and the security and compliance requirements that come as businesses grow and scale. We see this tension manifest in a number of key areas:
Access Workflows, Credential Management, and Compliance and Audits
- There are many hurdles involved for engineers to simply access resources, especially in a remote world as we’ve seen during the pandemic
- Managing static SSH keys in dynamic environments introduces both additional risk and complexity
- And meeting increasingly strict compliance and security requirements is very tricky
Many teams are left with making tradeoffs, or engineers build workarounds to bypass access hurdles. Our founders have experienced these challenges first hand, so they decided to create Teleport.
