Pomerium is a zero-trust, identity-aware reverse proxy that provides secure, clientless access to internal web apps, services, and AI agents for humans, services, and non-human identities without a VPN.

---

🚀 Overview

Access control hasn't kept up with modern workflows or non-human identities, leaving gaps in per-request authorization, context-aware decisions, multi-environment support, universal identity handling, self-hosted control, and auditability. Pomerium solves these by providing a unified Zero Trust proxy that secures every request.

It is built for security-conscious organizations, global enterprises, AI innovators, high-scale engineering teams, and developers securing legacy, cloud-native, and AI infrastructure.

Pomerium was built to close these security gaps, enabling faster, safer, and auditable access that replaces VPNs and legacy tools with modern Zero Trust principles.

✨ Key Features

• Per-request authorization (apply policy to every action, control more than just sessions)
• Context-aware policies (use identity, time, device, and other signals to make smarter access decisions)
• Multi-environment support (apply Zero Trust across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem without re-architecture)
• Universal identity support (secure users, services, and AI agents with one consistent model)
• Self-hosted control and audit-ready (keep data/traffic/policies in your environment; log/trace every decision) Optional: upcoming features like enhanced AI agent support in recent v0.32 releases
