Cerbos is designed to grow with your organization, no matter how your application evolves.
Cerbos is ideal for environments with strict compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR.
Cerbos supports high security use cases including air-gapped deployments and Zero Trust architectures.
Maintain full control over where policies are stored and deployed, ensuring independence and portability.
#1
Gather requirements from across your business for what the premissioning logic should be in the application.
#2
Based upon your business logic, define policies which implement the rules, checking roles and conditions for each resource kind in the application.
#3
Work with your development team to add in the permission checks - this only has to be done once!
#4
As requirements evolve, introduce new policies and conditions in Cerbos without changing application code.
"It's weird to say an outside company has our back, but Cerbos does. It's the people. It's their open-source code: it's high quality, you can read it, it does what it says on the tin"
"It's a good feeling being able to say yes to almost any permissioning requirement."
"It's easy for us to change how we're distributing policies as we reach different points of scale."
"We went from one user - every role, to a world where there are many users - many roles."
"Instead of thinking of how much time Cerbos has saved us, I think about how much time it didn't cost us. It didn't cost us any time. Cerbos just works. I don't have to think about it. It's as simple as that."
"One of our big considerations was speed. We have strict latency tolerances. When it comes to Cerbos - you can call it a hundred times during a request and it doesn't matter. It's incredibly fast."
"If it wasn't for Cerbos, one thing is for sure - we would've launched later than we did. As a result, we would have less customers."
"Cerbos policy writing is quite flexible, and deploying as a unit microservice as well. Cerbos "doesn't get in the way" once integrated, that's the best part."
"It is easy to implement and provides a solution for a problem that is often not properly addressed."
"Having the separation of the permissions from the code base just makes the code base more elegant. It makes the permissioning more elegant. "
"Just discovered your embedded testing framework. This is probably the best balance between hyperfocused functionality and embedded tooling I've ever seen in an open source project. Damn, good work!"
