Most enterprises have not plugged agents into those systems at all, according to Ev Kontsevoy, Teleport’s co-founder and chief executive. He blamed gaps such as delegated identity and an audit trail that follows an agent from intent to action.\n\nSandboxes, the tool many teams reach for now, mostly isolate the agent in a virtual machine and handle its credentials. “When the cost of an error is high, traditional sandboxes don’t cut it,” Kontsevoy said ahead of the announcement.\n\nTeleport calls each individual runtime a Beam, and every agent gets its own. A Beam carries a delegated identity inherited from the user or agent that launched it, while the agent inside starts with no standing privileges. Work begins with a proposed execution plan. That plan can be revised by a person or by a large language model acting as judge before a separate Beam runs it with only the approved roles. Reviewers then see new requests only for steps outside the plan.\n\nPasswords never enter the agent’s environment. Everything the agent sends to a model is traced, and Teleport says that record lets Beams pick out a hijacked goal or agents coordinating in ways nobody planned. Each session also gets scored against the MITRE ATT&CK framework for a written risk summary. Seven of the detection rules come prebuilt, privilege escalation among them. Anything else a customer wants caught can be described in natural language and added to the set.\n\nEach Beam is an ephemeral micro-VM on a virtualized network. Nothing gets in or out without passing Teleport’s controls, and the audit log keeps a copy of every protocol exchange. Snapshots taken by a feature named Phases carry the files and memory of an expiring Beam into the next one, so longer jobs do not have to start over.\n\nTeams can also fork a Beam to try several approaches in parallel. When something goes badly wrong, a kill switch ends the agent’s activity and cuts all of its connections to production at once.\n\nTeleport makes no promise about what a model will decide. A hijacked or mistaken agent inside a Beam can reach only what it was granted until its authority lapses at the end of the task, and every action it takes stays on the record.\n\nBeams runs on top of the Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform, which the company says is in production at more than 700 enterprises, Nasdaq Inc., DoorDash Inc. and Elastic N.V. among them. Cisco Systems Inc. became Teleport’s largest strategic investor [in August](https://siliconangle.com/2026/10/26/ciscos-privileged-infrastructure-access-ties-admin-and-ai-agent-privileges-to-the-task/).\n\nTeleport first showed Beams [in March](https://goteleport.com/about/newsroom/press-releases/teleport-launches-beams-trusted-agent-runtimes-for-infrastructure/), two months after publishing the [Teleport Agentic Identity Framework](https://siliconangle.com/2026/01/27/teleport-launches-agentic-identity-framework-secure-ai-agents-production/) that the runtime now puts into practice. Following a public beta, the product is available at [beams.run](https://www.beams.run/).\n\n##### Image: Teleport\n\n# A message from John Furrier, co-founder of SiliconANGLE:\n\nSupport our mission to keep content open and free by engaging with theCUBE community. **Join theCUBE’s Alumni Trust Network**, where technology leaders connect, share intelligence and create opportunities.\n\n- **15M+ viewers of theCUBE videos** , powering conversations across AI, cloud, cybersecurity and more\n- **11.4k+ theCUBE alumni** — Connect with more than 11,400 tech and business leaders shaping the future through a unique trusted-based network\n\n### Are you an AWS customer?  Support SiliconANGLE financially by buying your AWS services from our Marketplace portal page and links: [https://siliconangle.com/aws-marketplace/](https://siliconangle.com/aws-marketplace/)\n\n##### **About SiliconANGLE Media**\n\n[SiliconANGLE](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsiliconangle.com%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=SiliconANGLE&index=9&md5=646b1b564e2259100a2b8638aab0a552),\n\n[theCUBE Network](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecube.net%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=theCUBE+Network&index=10&md5=7de2a85f95ab4a4a495cede20b8cb1da),\n\n[theCUBE Research](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fthecuberesearch.com%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=theCUBE+Research&index=11&md5=7bb33676722925eb57d588ec343e4f6f),\n\n[CUBE365](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cube365.net%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=CUBE365&index=12&md5=d310fb35919714e66ad8d42c9c0c1bc6),\n\n[theCUBE AI](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecubeai.com%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=theCUBE+AI&index=13&md5=b8b98472f8071b23ebb10ab9a8dd0683)and theCUBE SuperStudios — with flagship locations in Silicon Valley and the New York Stock Exchange — SiliconANGLE Media operates at the intersection of media, technology and AI.\n\nFounded by tech visionaries John Furrier and Dave Vellante, SiliconANGLE Media has built a dynamic ecosystem of industry-leading digital media brands that reach 15+ million elite tech professionals.
