Pomerium provides a standardized interface to add access control to applications regardless of whether the application itself has authorization or authentication baked-in. +Pomerium builds secure, clientless connections to internal web apps and services without a corporate VPN. -Pomerium can be used in situations where you'd typically reach for a VPN, but, unlike a VPN, does not require a client and uses identity and context, not network locality to determine access. +Pomerium is: -Pomerium can be used to: +- **Easier** because you don’t have to maintain a client or software. +- **Faster** because it’s deployed directly where your apps and services are. No more expensive data backhauling. +- **Safer** because every single action is verified for trusted identity, device, and context. -- provide a **single-sign-on gateway** to internal applications. -- enforce **dynamic access policy** based on **context**, **identity**, and **device identity**. -- aggregate access logs and telemetry data. -- a **VPN alternative**. +It’s not a VPN alternative – it’s the trusted, full-proof way to protect your business. ## Docs
