Big ACL for Security Teams
Big ACL provides a clear and verifiable model of “who can do what” across systems.
It helps security teams understand access paths, reduce unintended permissions, and detect misconfigurations early.
The goal is not to replace existing IAM or IGA tools, but to give security a reliable view of how access decisions are actually defined.
Many access risks come from implicit assumptions, duplicated rules, or inconsistent role definitions across applications. When authorization logic is scattered, it becomes difficult to assess exposure or to understand the impact of a change.
Big ACL centralizes the policy model and makes the logic explicit. This allows security teams to reason about risks through a structured representation rather than through manual review of each system. The result is a more predictable and auditable access landscape.
Big ACL highlights permission expansions, inconsistent ownership, unused rules, and dangerous combinations of roles or conditions. These issues often remain hidden when authorization logic lives inside applications.
The platform also allows teams to compare versions of a policy set, track changes, and detect shifts in effective access before they reach production.
Because policies are versioned and validated through CI/CD, access risk can be monitored continuously instead of being checked during annual reviews. Security teams can attach controls directly to the policy model and enforce them as part of the development workflow.
This approach improves visibility and supports more frequent, incremental security decisions instead of relying on large periodic audits.
Big ACL gives security teams a single, analyzable representation of access rules. It enables consistent risk evaluation across heterogeneous systems and supports early detection of configuration issues. By treating policies as structured artifacts, Big ACL makes access risk measurable and easier to control.
