Today, it’s not just employees touching infrastructure. It’s workloads, automation, and AI agents acting at machine speed. That’s why @Cisco and Teleport are announcing a strategic partnership to deliver on the future of Infrastructure Identity. We’re moving the industry from fragmented, credential-based access to a trusted, cryptographic foundation that secures every human and machine action across the enterprise.

Big news to share today! Aliro just raised $15M in an oversubscribed round. This milestone reflects growing recognition that the cybersecurity landscape is changing. Adversaries are already harvesting encrypted data today with the intent to decrypt it tomorrow. Classical cryptography (whether RSA, ECC, or even post-quantum cryptography - PQC) is ultimately rooted in mathematical hardness assumptions. At Aliro, we believe the future of security must be grounded in something stronger: the fundamental laws of physics.
