Gravitational Inc. (Teleport)

Teleport, operating under the legal entity Gravitational Inc., is recognized as the AI Infrastructure Identity Company. Its core mission is to modernize identity, access, and policy for infrastructure, thereby enhancing engineering velocity and bolstering the resilience of critical infrastructure against human errors and potential compromises.

The company offers a unified identity platform that secures both traditional and AI infrastructure.
