Overview
Cerbos goes beyond traditional access control systems by offering enhanced features like context-aware role definitions and attribute-based access control (ABAC) via decoupling the logic from your application code and into an externalized authorization policy decision point. Which allows it to seamlessly scale from prototype to global deployment while saving months of developer time. Its low-code, human-readable configuration enables users to easily implement and update complex authorization policies without altering the core application code. This not only improves visibility but also fosters collaboration and enhances overall security. Cerbos is also stateless, which allows for reliable, up-to-date decision-making without the need for application state synchronization. Additionally, Cerbos PDPs offer low-latency authorization checks by running directly in your environment. Cerbos further distinguishes itself with its focus on compliance and accountability. It supports real-time access control logs to help you achieve compliance with standards like ISO27001 and SOC2. Cerbos audit logs likewise ensure robust threat protection and comprehensive accountability. The solution also offers testable authorization with a GitOps approach, allowing you to implement a reliable CI/CD workflow, and streamlines policy updates with centralized management, pushing real-time policy changes proactively to all Policy Decision Points for seamless rollouts. Cerbos offers pre-built SDKs and starter projects for quick implementation for the most common languages and frameworks, along with template policies that can be customized to fit your specific business needs. Gain insights into deployed PDP instances, tracking active policies, their versions, and more, ensuring all PDPs are synchronized and up-to-date. As well as a Playground, which serves as a fully-featured collaborative IDE for developing, iterating, and testing policies, providing instant feedback on changes and integrating into your Git-based workflow for easy evolution of authorization policies.
Highlights
- Quickly adapt to ever-evolving security requirements with flexible tooling that seamlessly integrates with your workflow to iterate on authorization policies in real-time.
- Save months on development with a plug and play API-enabled toolkit that decouples authorization for any app.
- Increase security by synchronizing access controls across all apps and services in your architecture, scaling to billions of requests.

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.

Customer reviews
Made authorization simple
After we got my AI assistant architecture & features lined up, I wanted to have a proper security setup with roles and permissions. My freelance suggested Cerbos’ open-source product, and I’m so glad I listened to him. It integrated with the open-source authentication solution I chose and I was able to write permissions in plain English and my developer implemented them as soon as I gave him the rules.
The whole thing was much easier and faster than I expected, which was great.
