Authorize anywhere with Cerbos Hub
With the power of WebAssembly, empower your authorization with on-device and edge capabilities.
Flexibility and adaptability
With today's variety of deployment models, the need for flexible and adaptable authorization mechanisms is paramount. Cerbos Hub enables running authorization not only as a service in your infrastructure, but also on client devices or at the edge. By generating a WASM module from your policy on every change, Cerbos Hub enables decisions to be made in any number of environments leading to faster response times, reduced server loads, and enhanced user experiences.
Advantages of embedding Cerbos Hub
- WebAssembly runtime: By leveraging WebAssembly, Cerbos Hub ensures that your authorization policies are lightweight, fast, and universally compatible across various platforms and devices.
- On-device authorization: Enhance security and reduce latency by processing authorization decisions directly on the user's device.
- At-edge authorization: Distribute your authorization logic closer to the user by embedding it at the edge, ensuring rapid response times and reduced central server loads.
- Consistency: As Cerbos Hub distributes policies for both the Policy Decision Points (PDPs) and the WebAssembly modules - any changes to policy are reflected everywhere with no extra work.
- Scalability: Effortlessly scale your authorization system as your application grows, without the need for running extra infrastructure.
- Performance: Local authorization decisions without having to roundtrip to the backend, enhancing the overall performance and responsiveness of your application.
