Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) is a cloud-based security service that provides secure access to web applications and APIs. IAP is based on the principle of zero trust, which means that it does not trust any network or user by default. Instead, IAP verifies the identity of every user and device that attempts to access an application or API, and only grants access if the user is authorized. IAP can be used to secure applications and APIs that are hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or on-premises.
Benefits of IAP
IAP offers a number of benefits, including:
