Description
Cerbos is an authorization management platform. Teams use it to authorize every identity, govern every action and prove every decision, with fine-grained, contextual and continuous authorization across applications, gateways, workloads and AI agents.
Access rules live in readable policies instead of application code, so security and product teams can change who can access what without waiting for an engineering release. Policies are tested before every release and apply the same way in every application, API gateway, service mesh, data platform and AI agent. Cerbos supports RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC and PBAC, and reads roles and attributes from your identity provider and databases when each check runs.
Engineers replace permission checks scattered through the codebase with one API call, using SDKs for JavaScript, Go, Python, Java, .NET, Rust, PHP and Ruby. Identity teams keep Okta, Entra ID or any other identity provider for login and manage access for people, services and AI agents from one set of rules. Product teams ship custom roles and tenant-specific permissions for enterprise customers without a custom build for each one. Security teams can approve AI agent rollouts, because every agent action is checked against policy and logged.
Every access check is logged with the policy that applied, ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA audits. Cerbos runs hosted, self-hosted or air-gapped. Utility Warehouse, 9fin, Salesroom and thousands of other organizations use Cerbos in production.
Description
GoRules is a business rules management system where the policy your analysts read and the logic your systems execute are the same artifact. Write conditions the way the business says them, lay decisions out on a graph canvas, or author full policy documents with prose and decision tables. Everything compiles to ZEN, an MIT-licensed engine written in Rust that evaluates a typical decision in about 10 microseconds.
Because ZEN is a library with bindings for Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, C#, Swift, and Rust, one compiled ruleset serves your REST API, your AI agents over MCP, and your PySpark batch jobs with no second implementation. Before a change reaches production it passes static analysis for type errors, unreachable rules, and contradictions between policies, then moves through branches, scenario tests, reviews, and versioned releases across environments. Every answer carries a replayable trace. Start free on the managed cloud, self-host, or embed the engine directly.
