Designed
to solve the broad enterprise challenges associated with advanced access
control, PlainID's Cloud-first, Authorization-as-a-Service Platform has been
architected both for scale and to meet the performance demands of the largest
global companies. Additionally, PlainID announces the release of several new
PlainID Authorizers including Data Authorizers for Snowflake, Google BigQuery,
Denodo and SDK for SQL filtering.
PlainID
Authorizers allow authorization policies to provide advanced data security by
enforcing vital access points across a distributed computing environment,
including authorization for API gateways, microservices, and data.
This
release also introduces PlainID's powerful Visual Policy Map which enables
administrators to visualize the impacts of policies, resulting in a better
understanding of the relationships between who can access what and when.
PlainID
helps businesses advance and modernize by simply and securely 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 on 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 out-of-the-box
Authorizers included in this 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 the modern business.
