Cerbos: Authorization for Enterprise Software and AI
🔐 New: A CISO’s benchmark for authorization maturity ➔ Download the ebook
Authorization management platform
Authorize every identity. Govern every action.
Enforce fine-grained, contextual, and continuous authorization across applications, gateways, workloads, and AI agents.
Security
Engineering
IAM
See and govern every access decision
Gain full visibility into what every identity can access. No more scattered authorization logic creating blind spots.
Control AI agent access
Define AI agent and MCP boundaries before they go live. Revoke access in seconds through policy. Always know exactly what every agent can access.
Prove compliance at any time
Get instant logs for every decision: who, what, when, which policy. Audit-ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, FedRAMP.
Control authorization logic in one place
Define, approve, and update policies centrally. Replace scattered if-statements with a single function call.
Ship authorization in one sprint
Deploy roles and permissions without code changes. RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC, PBAC supported out of the box.
Scale with your architecture
Handle millions of authorization decisions per second across distributed systems and AI agents. Stateless. Deploy in cloud, on-prem, or air-gapped.
Close the gap in your IAM stack
Your IdP authenticates. Your IGA provisions roles. Cerbos controls what identities actually do at the resource level, at runtime.
Govern every identity type
Manage access across your entire identity fabric in one place. Centralized policies for users, service accounts, NHIs, and AI agents.
Secure AI agents with guardrails
Define what each AI agent can access before it goes live - and revoke that access in seconds through policy if anything changes.
Authorization was always the gap. AI is making it impossible to ignore.
Over-permissioned access
AI agents and services can do more than they should. One mistake can expose sensitive data or trigger unauthorized actions.
AI agents blur identity lines
AI agents act on behalf of users through MCP clients and other interfaces, masking who initiated the action. When the system can’t tell them apart, agents inherit permissions they should never have.
Standing access never expires
Long-lived tokens and shared credentials stay valid long after they are needed, increasing the chance of compromise.
No fine-grained kill switch
If an agent goes beyond its scope, access continues until someone rotates credentials or restarts systems. No way to revoke a single action in seconds.
Access control for every use case
Single authorization management platform for every identity, every decision, at every layer.

Why teams choose Cerbos
"When I did an audit, I found that the cost of managing authorization and authentication in-house over the entire lifespan of the company was in the 7 figures. Cerbos saved that. Deploying Cerbos has allowed our engineers to spend their time on what really matters for our success."
Chuck Hardy
Head of Engineering @Salesroom
"Having to modify authorization is a five-minute job now. Having to troubleshoot authorization is a five-minute job. So that has actually allowed the team to spend more time where it really matters on the platform."
Karen Kim
CEO @Human Managed
"We rely on Cerbos to make authorization decisions across the whole mesh - millions of times a day. And it’s fast. We don’t even think about it anymore. It just works."
Rob Crowe
Principal Engineer @Utility Warehouse
"We went from one user - every role, to a world where there are many users - many roles. And the product, it relies on Cerbos to actually bring the value that we want to bring to customers. All of our customers are relying on Cerbos, by relying on the product, which is of course relying on Cerbos."
Joe Lines
CEO & Co-Founder @Nook
"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."
Steve High
Staff Engineer @Complex
"The main reason we switched to Cerbos was to have a sophisticated authorization software to help organize and handle our authorization. We wanted to focus on domain related features and spend less time backtracking and fixing issues with our authorization."

"Cerbos enables us to go to market very quickly, compared to an in-house solution. It allows us to offer new products faster, because creating or editing policies is so easy."
Engin Attar
Head of Product and Growth, Co-Founder @Debite
"We got the foundation set. Now we can scale and include more complex policies. And we can grow in the right direction and with the right security thanks to Cerbos authorization management."
Edgar Rivera
CTO @4gcapital
"Having the separation of the permissions from the code base just makes the code base more elegant. It makes the permissioning more elegant. It means they're centralized, so they're not tied to specific endpoints. And ultimately it means that different business owners have the ability to actually make updates."
Henry Arnold
CTO & Co-Founder @Nook
"We're not worried about scaling because we can easily increase our load on Cerbos. It will also be easy for us to change how we're distributing policies as we reach different points of scale."
David Workman
Senior Software Engineer @ Salesroom
"Offering dynamic roles and permissions makes us more competitive in the market. We’re providing companies with a software that can be adapted to their workflows."
Ibrahim Bou Ncoula
CTO @Supy
"We can create unlimited conditions, attributes, and parameters at any level of granularity without writing any code. It allows us to deliver truly personalized services quickly, securely, and at scale."

Policy based access control at scale
Purpose built authorization, not a generic policy engine
Generic policy engines |
Cerbos |
|
|---|---|---|
| Policy language | Policy language General-purpose policy languages designed for broader use cases. |
Policy language YAML policies purpose-built for authorization, readable by security teams. |
| Authorization model | Authorization model Authorization patterns must be assembled from generic primitives. |
Authorization model First-class RBAC, ABAC, PBAC, and ReBAC with principal/resource/action semantics. |
| Evaluation latency | Evaluation latency Varies by policy complexity and engine architecture. |
Evaluation latency Sub-millisecond, optimized for per-request evaluation at machine speed. |
| Policy lifecycle | Policy lifecycle Custom sync, manual distribution, separate CI/CD tooling. |
Policy lifecycle Cerbos: managed policy lifecycle with CI/CD, testing, and real-time distribution. |
| Audit and compliance | Audit and compliance Decision logs require additional infrastructure to capture and correlate. |
Audit and compliance Structured decision logs with policy version lineage, built in. |
Authorization for enterprise software and AI
Externalized, policy-based, runtime authorization for your apps, enterprise software, AI systems and workflows.
