About
Pomerium is a zero trust, identity-aware reverse proxy that enables secure, clientless access to internal applications and infrastructure without requiring a VPN. It integrates with existing OIDC-compliant identity providers and enforces continuous policy via YAML-style policy-as-code, using cryptographically-signed JWTs for upstream access. The platform supports Kubernetes ingress, distributed team access, and AI agent authorization with centralized auditing.
Problem
Teams struggle to provide secure, low-latency access to internal applications for remote employees, contractors, and distributed teams without the frustrations of traditional VPNs.
For
Engineering and security teams managing secure access to internal applications and infrastructure
How it works
Pomerium acts as a Layer 7 reverse proxy that authenticates users via an OIDC identity provider, enforces policy-as-code authorization on every request, and connects them to upstream applications using signed JWTs — all without requiring a client install.
