Pomerium Zero offers a modern approach to secure application access by combining a hosted control plane for centralized management with a self-hosted reverse proxy that ensures data privacy and flexibility. This architecture eliminates the need for traditional clients, simplifying deployment and user compliance, as it operates invisibly to the end-user and can be centrally administered. Unlike VPNs, Pomerium Zero avoids creating network tunnels, instead applying modern authentication and access control directly at the application layer, enhancing security by giving each service granular access enforcement capabilities. By deploying at the network edge, close to where applications reside, Pomerium Zero significantly reduces latency, ensuring optimal performance for users and developers. It addresses the complexities of modern digital infrastructure spanning multiple clouds and hybrid on-premise deployments, enabling administrators to scale unified access control effortlessly. The self-hosted nature of the reverse proxy means organizations retain full control over their data, mitigating risks associated with third-party data piping and ensuring uptime independence. Pomerium Zero embodies true zero-trust principles, protecting resources based on identity, device, and context, rather than network locality, providing a robust and adaptable security model for internal applications and high-value assets.

Features & Benefits

• Clientless Solution
  • Eliminates the need for client installation, configuration, and management, simplifying user compliance and enabling central administration via Pomerium Zero’s hosted control plane.
• Application-Level Security
  • Applies modern authentication at the application layer using a reverse proxy, avoiding network tunneling and enabling granular access control for each application and service.
• Optimized Performance
  • Deploys at the network edge, near applications, to minimize latency and ensure fast, stable connections for users and developers.
• Unified Access Control
  • Enables administrators to easily scale and manage access across multi-cloud and hybrid on-premise environments, with API support for automated deployment of access controls.
