Pomerium

Pomerium is an identity-aware reverse proxy that enables secure, clientless access to internal applications, databases, services, and AI agents using a Zero Trust model. Every request is authenticated and authorized based on identity, device posture, time, and other contextual signals — not network perimeter. It offers both a managed control plane (Pomerium Zero) and a fully self-hosted enterprise option, with a self-hosted data plane ensuring sensitive traffic never passes through third-party infrastructure.

• Zero Trust Access Control — Evaluates every individual request against authentication, authorization, and contextual signals rather than relying on perimeter-based trust.
• Clientless Operation — Users access internal apps through a browser without installing VPN clients or agents, reducing friction and attack surface.
• Self-Hosted Data Plane — Deploy Pomerium's reverse proxy inside your own environment so internal traffic and data never leave your infrastructure.
• Context-Aware Policies — Write granular authorization policies using identity, group membership, device posture, time, MFA status, and external data sources via OPA Rego or a GUI policy builder.
• Secure Human Access — Supports scoped contractor access, time-bound access, just-in-time access, policy change history, and native SSH access over HTTP.
• Secure Service Access — Authenticates and authorizes service-to-service communication, Kubernetes ingress, internal APIs, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Secure Agentic Access — Enforces policy-based access for MCP servers and AI agents accessing internal tools, dashboards, and data APIs.
• SSO & IdP Integration — Integrates with major identity providers via SSO; supports JWTs, mTLS, and full identity provider data sync.
• Audit & Compliance — Logs every access decision with audit trails, deployment history, traffic reports, and in-console telemetry for compliance readiness.
• Multi-Cluster Management — Manage multiple Pomerium deployments from a centralized control plane with namespaces, RBAC, and hierarchical policies.

To get started, sign up for Pomerium Zero at console.pomerium.app, deploy the self-hosted reverse proxy in your environment with a single command, configure routes and policies via the UI or YAML, and connect your identity provider.
