Common authorization use cases include:
– Marketplace that wants to give e-commerce merchants varying levels of access to their proprietary inventory portal.
– Securing the Service Mesh with distributed enforcement and centralized management and governance.
– Enterprises that need real-time automated decisions for allowing or denying access to account data, consistent across all digital channels and fintech services.
PlainID recognized these needs early and built a suite of Authorization as a Service solutions for enterprises and engineering teams who require intelligent solutions to support their cloud initiatives, service mesh implementations and data access governance requirements. The company’s offerings enable companies to modernize their technology stack with smarter access control, including fine-grained and coarse-grained decisions, provided by best-in-class policy-based runtime abilities.
