Historically, authorization logic has been embedded deep inside applications. This makes it expensive and challenging to retool applications in response to changing security and regulatory demands. This whitepaper takes an in-depth look at how organizations can externalize fine-grained entitlements from business applications and instead consume authorization directly as a service. Read this whitepaper to learn how externalization and the consequent centralization of authorization policies leads to better policy transparency, improved compliance and quicker IT response to evolving regulatory requirements.
