Federated access for third-party tools

Give External Tools the Access They Need Without Giving Up Control

Federated access that respects identity, context, and policy. No VPNs.
No shared credentials. No vendor risk.

Third-Party Tools Need Access. But Not to Everything.

Whether it is CI/CD pipelines, monitoring agents, or automation tools, external services often require access to internal resources. But granting broad or static access creates risk.

Shared credentials are insecure and hard to revoke
VPN-based access exposes too much of your internal network
Managing access across federated identities is complex and brittle

You need a better way to provide secure, scoped, auditable access to third-party systems.

Pomerium Delivers Federated Access with Full Context and Control

Pomerium lets you authorize third-party services based on federated identity, context-aware policy, and per-request evaluation.
