Cerbos is on a mission to make authorization simpler to implement and manage, thus freeing up product teams to focus their efforts on building their core product and drive business value.

Authorization is a critical aspect of any software product, and it's essential to get it right. However, the process of implementing, maintaining, and scaling access control logic is time-consuming, complicated, and messy.

That's where Cerbos comes in. Cerbos makes fine-grained access control easy to implement and manage while saving months of developer time:

• Improves security by making access control highly visible, and making it easy to keep up with changing requirements.

• Provides flexible tooling for authoring, testing, and deploying access policies, and seamlessly integrates into any architecture.

• Decouples authorization from application silos and makes it reusable by all your software code written in any language, and seamlessly scales from prototype to global deployment.

Our company name actually comes as a derivative of Cerberus. When we started Cerbos, we were thinking about different ways of protecting things and how that relates to authorization. We got to talking about dogs, and then talked about Cerberus being the ultimate protective dog. After talking it through a bit more, Cerberus became Cerbos and our logo became Cerbie, the mascot of Cerbos!

Our mission is to make authorization easy.

We believe that the layers of software will continuously be decoupled to reduce duplicative efforts.

Our goal is to make Cerbos the go-to authorization layer solution for implementing and managing roles and permissions.

We prioritize the needs of our users. We are friendly and caring towards everyone. We assume best intent.

We have a strong engineering mindset. We are confident in our abilities, yet humble. As a team, we hold strong beliefs but are open to change with new information based on data.

We are self starters; we take initiative, build, seek feedback and iterate fast. We work in the open, cohesively, and asynchronously.

We are determined and dedicated to solving the challenges ahead of us.

We are a group of passionate, globally distributed professionals, working together to solve the complex authorization challenges for our users. We completed multiple rounds of funding from world class investors and are planning for the future.
