Secure Access for AI Agents

Secure Agentic Access
Without Exposing Your Data

Policy-driven, self-hosted access control for agents, scripts, and LLM systems.
Built for speed. Backed by context.

AI Agents Are Autonomous. Their Permissions Shouldn't Be.

Modern AI agents can update dashboards, pull data, trigger jobs, and more. But most are over-permissioned or hardwired with static credentials.

  • Shared secrets and long-lived tokens invite lateral risk  

  • Manual scoping slows down workflows or gets skipped entirely  

  • VPNs and hardcoded configs create brittle paths to internal systems  

Security and autonomy don’t have to conflict.

AI Agents Make Fast Decisions. Your Access Controls Should Keep Up.

Prompts trigger actions, tools call APIs, and workflows evolve in real time. Static access rules or one-time checks can’t keep pace with autonomous logic.

  • Initial authorization isn't enough for multi-step tasks  

  • Static credentials persist long after the original request  

  • Access scope often drifts without visibility or enforcement 

Each action, not just each session, needs verification.

You Can’t Trust What You Can’t See

Agents powered by LLMs and scripts make decisions faster than humans can track. Without a full audit trail, you’re left guessing what actions were taken, by whom, and under what context.

  • No logging means no accountability for high-risk automation  

  • Prompt-based decisions often bypass standard monitoring

  • One mistake can trigger cascading issues without a trace  

Auditing isn’t optional when agents interact with real systems.

AI Agents Move Fast. Data Boundaries Must Be Faster.

Autonomous agents now perform real work—reading documents, updating systems, and querying internal data. But without strict data controls, one prompt can lead to unintended exposure.

  • Agents often operate with broad, static permissions

  • Traditional tools lack enforcement at the resource and record level

  • Sensitive data can be accessed or leaked with no oversight

Trustworthy automation starts with well-defined access limits.

Model Endpoints Are High Value.
That Makes Them High Risk.

LLMs, embeddings, and fine-tuned APIs power business-critical workflows. But exposing them without access control leaves them open to misuse, abuse, or costly overuse.

  • Public endpoints invite unauthorized requests and scraping

  • API keys are hard to rotate, revoke, or scope cleanly

  • Lack of audit trails leads to blind spots and billing surprises

Modern agents need model access. Security teams need guardrails.

Pomerium Grants AI Agents Context-Aware, Scoped Access

Pomerium Enterprise enforces precise access rules for agents based on identity, task, and context. No static tokens. No blind trust.

Federated identities for agents

Assign unique service identities to agents, scripts, or LLM-backed tools

Per-request evaluation

Enforce access based on task scope, source IP, headers, and time

Dynamic policy controls

Define what each agent can do and when—with full audit visibility

Self-hosted and framework-agnostic

Deploy in your environment. Integrate with any agent runtime or orchestration layer

Let Agents Operate Freely—Within Boundaries You Control

01

Scope Behavior by Task, Not Tool

  • Let agents fetch data without write access

  • Enforce rules like "read-only during work hours" or "only from approved networks"

02

Remove the Risk of Static Secrets

  • Eliminate the need for shared keys or baked-in credentials  

  • Use short-lived, policy-verified sessions based on real context

03

Audit Every Interaction

  • Log every request with intent, user, and policy matched  

  • Trace behavior across sessions, even with autonomous decisioning
