PlainID, the Authorization Company, announced the production readiness of its “Authorization-as-a-Service,” SaaS-enabled Authorization Platform. Additionally, PlainID introduced its pre-built, third-party “Authorizers,” which allow authorization policies to enforce access points across a distributed computing environment, including authorization for API gateways, microservices and data.
Designed to solve enterprise challenges associated with advanced access control, PlainID’s Authorization-as-a-Service Platform has been designed for scale and the performance demands of the largest global companies.
PlainID helps businesses advance and modernize by connecting people with the digital assets they need to do their jobs, accomplish tasks at scale and conduct digital commerce. By making authorization decisions simple, smart, granular and dynamic, PlainID helps enterprises control who can access what, when and how under whose authority.
“As market adoption for authorization is driven by the convergence of traditional identity and access management and cybersecurity requirements, PlainID has enjoyed tremendous year-over-year growth,” said Gal Helemski, chief technology officer, chief product officer, and co-founder, PlainID. “In the future, we believe that PlainID will be behind every connection between an identity and a digital service: monitoring, securing, and validating it. Authorization is the foundation of security: it’s the last mile that governs what people actually can do.”
Powered by policy-based access control (PBAC), leading-edge features include PlainID’s Centralized Management Dashboard, which provides users the ability to create and manage enterprise-wide authorization policies from a central point while maintaining distributed enforcement capabilities. The ready-to-use Authorizers™ included in this preview launch address common authorization patterns for API gateways, microservices, data, and applications.
Today’s organizations are challenged with balancing the demands of secure access controls, frictionless user journeys and data privacy requirements. This product announcement marks a key milestone in PlainID’s growth and documents the relevance of authorization in modern business.
