AI Security

AI Authorization

Authorization is where AI security succeeds or fails. We design it so AI never exceeds the permissions of those it serves.

Overview

What is AI Authorization?

AI authorization covers permission-aware retrieval, delegated access (on-behalf-of flows), tool and API scopes for agents, data-level filtering and policy enforcement across AI-to-application, AI-to-data and AI-to-AI interactions.
