!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([IAP]) is an [Access Proxy] that performs [Access Control] by [Digital Identity]. [1]


[{$pagename}]s are simpler and safer than [VPN] and is a building block for [BeyondCorp] (see [Access Proxy]). The [{$pagename}] is a [Policy Enforcement Point] and a [Single Sign-On] [Access Proxy]

[Authorization] of a [request] requires the [{$pagename}] obtains [data] about the [Digital Identity] the user and the [Digital Identity] of the [device] making the [request]. In [Policy Based Management System] the [data] would be obtained from a [Policy Information Point].

When using [Google Cloud Platform] there is no charge for using [{$pagename}]. However, when used with [Google Compute Engine], the required [Load Balancing] and [firewall] configuration may incur additional costs.
