Fine-grained, Policy-based
Authorization Management
Big ACL gives you the visibility and control needed
to manage fine-grained authorizations at any scale
What Big ACL can do
Managing Access Policies
How do you deploy a consistent authorization policy throughout your company?
Big ACL is an authorization platform. It enables simple, centralized management of application permissions, i.e. who has the right to do what on what data perimeter and in what context (teleworking, working hours, etc.).
Big ACL supports many access control models ( RBAC, ABAC and ReBAC ) and authorization languages such as CEDAR, REGO and XACML.
However, detailed knowledge of these concepts and languages is not required.
the platform takes care of all the hard work for you!
Enforcing Access Policies
Big ACL supports multiple deployment patterns (sidecar, centralized, embedded..) and integrates into your existing ecosystem, allowing for consistent access control across diverse environments.
Testing Policies
You've now written a few policies. How to test them?
Authorization policies control access to sensitive resources. Testing ensures that unauthorized users cannot access restricted data or perform unauthorized actions
especially for edge cases such as complex conditions (nested or combined rules) or dynamic contexts (time or location-based access rules).
Big ACL assists you in the creation of test cases, test data and test execution.
Auditing Policies & Access decisions
By offering real-time insights into access patterns and policy changes, Big ACL supports threat detection, forensics, and security auditing.
Centralized Policy Management
Managing policies in one centralized location, rather than embedding them across multiple services or applications, ensures consistency in how policies are enforced across different systems. It also simplifies updates, as changes can be made in one place and propagated universally.
Flexibility and Granularity
Big ACL supports highly granular and customizable policies. This allows you to define complex rules that meet specific business needs, and enforce policies dynamically based on contextual factors, such as user attributes, request parameters, or environmental conditions.
Decoupling Policy from Application Logic
Traditionally, authorization and policy enforcement logic (e.g., "Who can access what and under what conditions") is often embedded directly into the application’s codebase.
Decoupling authorization logic from application code makes application code cleaner and easier to maintain.
Auditability
Providing clear logging and decision explanations, makes it easier to understand why a policy decision was made. This transparency is valuable for debugging, compliance, and auditing purposes.
