Cerbos, a company that provides an open source authorization layer solution for developers, has secured $7.5 million in an extended seed funding round, increasing their total investment to $11 million.
The new funding round was led by Omers Ventures, with additional investment from several angel investors.
Cerbos, founded in 2021, is a London-based company that simplifies the implementation and management of user permissions and authorization in applications by separating the authorization logic from the core code. Their stateless solution can be deployed within the customer’s stack, either in the cloud or on-premises, and relies on REST and gRPC APIs to integrate with existing applications. The authorization layer also allows organizations to use their own identity provider and supports JSON Web Token (JWT) for integration with authentication providers.
This week, Cerbos launched a cloud solution for streamlined implementation and management of authorization policies. According to the company, the solution can be integrated with existing audit processes, logs requests and responses, and provides visibility into what was allowed or denied, as well as debug access requests. The new investment will help Cerbos advance its offerings.
Ultimately, Cerbos’ new funding will enable the company to continue to develop their open source authorization layer solution, allowing developers to more efficiently and securely manage user permissions and authorization in their applications. With the cloud solution, Cerbos also has the potential to become a leader in the authorization space by providing developers with reliable, efficient, and secure solutions for managing their user permissions.
