Decoupled authorization with Cerbos

Escape the chaos of intertwined authorization logic. Empower developers to focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional products. Simplify, secure, and save with Cerbos.

The perils of embedded authorization

When authorization logic is deeply embedded within core application code, it becomes a ticking time bomb. As applications evolve, intertwined authorization doesn't just lead to technical challenges. It diverts valuable developer time and resources away from product innovation:

  • Confusion: Overlapping permissions and roles create a maze that's hard to navigate.
  • Security risks: Unintended access and data breaches due to overlooked or misconfigured permissions.
  • Development delays: Developers spend weeks, if not months, untangling and fixing authorization issues.
  • Cost overruns: Time spent fixing these issues translates to increased costs and delayed product releases.
  • Lost innovation time: Every hour spent untangling authorization is an hour not spent on feature development, user experience improvements, or innovation.
  • Delayed releases: Complex authorization issues can push back release dates, affecting product roadmaps and market positioning.
  • Reduced developer morale: Constantly firefighting tangled authorization issues can demotivate developers, reducing their job satisfaction and productivity.
