Cerbos is an end-to-end authorization management platform that authorizes every identity, governs every action and proves every decision. It enforces fine-grained, contextual and continuous authorization across applications, gateways, workloads and AI agents, with a full audit trail behind every decision. Authorization logic sits in one layer rather than in application code, so permission changes take a five-minute policy update instead of a code deploy, and access can be revoked in seconds. With Cerbos, teams gain full control over every access decision, governance across human and non-human identities, and audit-ready evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, NIS2, and DORA.
