Authentication (validating who you claim to be) and Authorization (enforcing what you are allowed to do) are critical in modern software development. While authentication seems to be a solved problem, modern software development faces many challenges with secure, fast, and resilient authorization mechanisms.
To learn more about those challenges, we invited Alex Olivier, Co-Founder and CPO at Cerbos, an Open Source Scalable Authorization Solution. Alex shared insights on attribute-based vs. role-based access Control, the difference between stateful and stateless authorization implementations, why Broken Access Control is in the OWASP Top 10 Security Vulnerabilities, and how to observe the authorization solution for performance, security, and auditing purposes.
