Stop managing static SSH keys. Learn how Teleport uses short-lived certificates and node labels to implement a zero-trust RBAC model for infrastructure access.
Stop managing static SSH keys. Learn how Teleport uses a Certificate Authority (CA) and short-lived certificates to secure infrastructure access and automate rotation.
