Problem
Traditional VPNs and perimeter-based security models grant broad network access, increasing the attack surface and making internal resources vulnerable to compromise. Client-based solutions add complexity, requiring configuration, installation, and maintenance, which can hinder user productivity and create friction for remote access.
Solution
Pomerium provides clientless, secure access to web applications and services based on zero trust principles, eliminating the need for a VPN. It continuously verifies user identity and context on every request, enforcing fine-grained authorization policies. This approach reduces the attack surface by granting access only to specific resources, improving security and simplifying remote access for users. Pomerium integrates with existing identity providers and leverages context-aware data for access control decisions, ensuring secure and seamless access to internal resources.
Target Audience
Pomerium is designed for organizations of all sizes seeking to secure internal web applications and services, replace traditional VPNs, and implement zero trust access control.
