Pomerium, a startup specializing in access management, has secured $13.75 million in a Series A funding round led by Benchmark, alongside Bain Capital, Haystack, SNR, and angel investors. Established in 2019, Pomerium focuses on providing a zero trust reverse proxy that facilitates fast and secure access to applications across diverse environments.
The company’s unified access control solution prioritizes user access while maintaining stringent security measures, dynamically verifying identities and contexts to enhance productivity without compromising asset security. Acting as a gateway, Pomerium ensures that only authorized users can access resources, safeguarding them from direct exposure.
This investment infusion will enable Pomerium to intensify its product development efforts and expand its team, aiming to meet increasing global demand. Recently, the company launched Pomerium Zero, a fully hosted NextGen Access Platform designed to facilitate secure clientless connections to web applications in hybrid environments.
Pomerium CEO Bobby DeSimone underscores the company’s commitment to usability and security integration, emphasizing that effective security solutions should seamlessly integrate into user workflows to prevent workarounds or usability issues.
