Summary

ngrok is now offering a feature called App Users, which provides visibility into users logging into applications through the ngrok edge, including contextual information about their device, browser, and network. This feature is particularly useful for security teams implementing Zero Trust or BeyondCorp approaches, as it allows them to secure every interaction from log in to log out. With App Users, developers can view, revoke, and block sessions in flight, making it a key security component for any application. The feature works seamlessly with existing authentication methods such as OAuth, OIDC, and SAML, reducing the barrier of adoption for security teams.
