As enterprises hand production access to autonomous AI agents, identity — not the network perimeter — is becoming the real control plane. In this episode, Brandon Krieger talks with Ev Kontsevoy, Co-Founder and CEO of Teleport, about securing access for humans, machines, and AI agents alike. Ev traces his path from co-founding Mailgun (acquired by Rackspace) to launching Teleport in 2015 and building it into a $1.1 billion company that pioneered Infrastructure Identity and, in 2026, launched Beams — trusted, isolated runtimes that give AI agents their own identity and governance in production.Topics include:From Mailgun founder to CEO of a $1.1B infrastructure-identity companyWhy traditional access models like VPNs and shared credentials break under AI agentsWhat 'Infrastructure Identity' means for humans, machines, and agentsHow Beams isolates and governs AI agents in productionWhat security leaders should ask before their next agent deploymentGuest: Ev Kontsevoy — CEO & Co-Founder, TeleportHost: Brandon Krieger — CEO & vCISO AdvisorWatch Full Episode: https://www.youtube.com/BrandonKriegerListen: https://www.DailyCyber.ca
