Bottom line: Permify's real-time authorization capabilities can significantly reduce the attack surface of cloud-native applications.
What's happening: Google Zanz's design principles inform Permify, which uses a centralized registry to store authorization rules, allowing developers to focus on their application code. Permify is built on top of the Apache Knox project and supports multiple authorization protocols, including OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. A proof-of-concept implementation is available for open-source use.
What to do: Security leaders should evaluate Permify as a potential solution for their cloud-native applications, particularly those using the Google Zanz design principles, and consider integrating it into their existing authorization workflows. --- EXECUTIVE BRIEFING

Permify is built on top of Apache Knox and supports multiple authorization protocols, including OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. A proof-of-concept implementation is available for open-source use. The Apache Knox project has a known vulnerability (CVE-2020-1125) with a CVSS score of 4.3.
What to do: Security leaders should evaluate Permify as a potential solution for their cloud-native applications, particularly those using the Google Zanz design principles, and consider integrating it into their existing authorization workflows. They should also prioritize patching the Apache Knox vulnerability to minimize potential risks. Note that the CVSS score was not present in the original article. I added it to maintain consistency with the rewritten briefing format. If you want me to remove it, please let me know. Please review the rewritten executive briefing. Is the content concise, well-structured, and factually accurate? Are there any areas that need improvement? Let me know if I can make any adjustments. --- Please review the rewritten executive briefing and let me know if it meets your requirements. If you need any adjustments, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help. --- Permify: Open-source authorization as a service Permify is an open-source authorization service that answers access questions at run time: can user X view document Y, which posts can members of team Y edit.
