The Challenge
Authentication addresses identity verification, but authorization determines what users can actually access post-login. Most organizations struggle with this layer, facing issues like overprivileged users, inconsistent policy enforcement, and compliance chaos from shadow entitlements.
- Everyone becomes an “admin” due to lack of time for granular role mapping
- Access sprawl across environments with visibility gaps
- Hardcoded policies and one-off exceptions that break during organizational changes
- Audits relying on manual spreadsheets and justifications
