Teleport’s Field CTO on Securing AI Agents Inside the Agentic Identity Framework

Description

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026, we sat down with Boris Kurtchiev, Field CTO at Teleport, to explore the emerging security challenges of AI-driven infrastructure. In this interview, Boris breaks down Teleport’s newly introduced Agentic Identity Framework—what it is, why it was built, and how it addresses the growing complexity of managing identity and access for autonomous AI agents. We also dive into the key risks organizations face when deploying AI agents, how Teleport’s approach differs from traditional IAM solutions, and what makes this framework uniquely suited for the next generation of machine identities. Beyond that, Boris shares updates on Teleport’s broader platform and offers his perspective on how AI infrastructure security will evolve over the next few years.
