# Cerbos

An authorization management platform that controls what identities can access at the resource level in enterprise software and AI systems.

**Route:** surfaced by the fraud prevention and risk management lane's de-branded queries → competitor to stripe.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same authorization decision-making capability to the same engineering and security buyers who would shortlist the anchor for fine-grained access control.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Authorization management platform

> Enforce fine-grained, contextual, and continuous authorization across applications, gateways, workloads, and AI agents

> Cerbos controls what identities actually do at the resource level, at runtime
