# What is Pomerium
|
|
|
|
## Overview?
|
|
|
|
Pomerium is an identity-aware proxy that enables secure access to internal applications. Pomerium provides a standardized interface to add access control to applications regardless of whether the application itself has authorization or authentication baked-in. Pomerium gateways both internal and external requests, and can be used in situations where you'd typically reach for a VPN.
|
|
|
|
Pomerium can be used to:
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- perform delegated user authorization for service-based authorization systems:
|
|
- [Istio](/guides/istio.md)
|
|
- [Google Cloud](/guides/cloud-run.md)
|
|
- add unified access and identity to [custom, on-prem, and hosted apps and services](https://www.pomerium.com/integrations/)
|
|
- serve as a **VPN alternative**.
