Pomerium’s Secure Human Access provides clientless, identity- and context-aware access to internal tools, replacing legacy VPNs and perimeter trust with fine-grained, per-request authorization at the application layer. It connects to an organization’s existing identity provider (IdP) using OpenID Connect and enforces policies based on user/group, device posture, time, and other contextual signals, eliminating standing privileges and reducing lateral-movement risk. Users access internal applications through a browser—no client software required—while administrators maintain full control via self-hosted or hybrid deployment options that keep traffic and logs within their environment. The platform centralizes policy management, generates detailed, per-request audit logs for compliance, and streamlines just-in-time access so powerful privileges are granted only when needed and automatically expire. By shifting from network-based implicit trust to identity- and policy-led enforcement, Pomerium improves security, speeds incident response, and simplifies audits across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. Key Features & Benefits:

• Identity-aware access proxy: Enforces authorization at the application layer using identity, device, time, and context for each request.
• Clientless, browser-based access: Provides secure access to internal apps without VPN clients or jump hosts, reducing friction and overhead.
• OIDC-based IdP integration: Connects to existing identity providers via OpenID Connect for standardized, secure authentication.
• Just-in-time privileges: Issues scoped, time-limited access that appears—and expires—on demand to minimize standing privileges.
• Centralized policy engine: Applies consistent AuthN/Z across environments and services, replacing fragmented access controls.
• Comprehensive auditing: Captures detailed access logs per request for visibility, troubleshooting, and compliance reporting.
• Flexible deployment: Offers self-hosted and hybrid models so traffic and logs remain in the organization’s control.
• Least-privilege by default: Replaces broad network trust from VPNs with granular, per-route policies to reduce lateral movement risk.
