Case Study: ExtraHop achieves secretless zero-trust infrastructure with Teleport

How a Cybersecurity Company Does Cybersecurity

ExtraHop, a cybersecurity company based in Seattle, needed a way to secure access to its fast-scaling, cloud-hosted infrastructure without slowing engineers down. As its Kubernetes-based environment grew across AWS and Azure, the team struggled with onboarding and offboarding, hard-coded shared secrets, and limited visibility for security and compliance.

Using Teleport’s Infrastructure Identity Platform, ExtraHop moved to identity-based, secretless access with short-lived certificates, a single proxy for SSH and Kubernetes, and detailed session audit logs and recordings. Teleport helped ExtraHop reduce standing privilege, improve compliance readiness for standards like HIPAA and FedRAMP, and give both infrastructure and security teams a faster, safer way to manage access at scale.
