Startup Permit.io has completed a $ 6 million lime fundraiser. Permit was established about a year ago by Or Weiss, who serves as CEO, and Assaf Cohen, who serves as VP of technology.
Every application today is required to identify users securely and manage different types of users with different access permissions (Roles), but self-development of capabilities like Role Based Access Control (RBAC), Audit Logs, Impersonation and more can take months.
Even after initial development, developers need to continue working on the permissions system to fix bugs and add new features. With Permit you can easily implement these capabilities, facilitate the work of developers and accelerate the arrival of the product on the market.
Permit’s platform provides all the infrastructure and components needed to develop and implement end-to-end permissions. These include components for logging in, enforcement, auditing, approvals, exposing phishing attempts, API automation and more.
Using these components, developers can easily build an authorization system and then integrate it into all enterprise applications. After initial development, the system can also be used by other factors in the organization, such as product people, through a low-code platform. The platform is based on the OPAL open source project, which was also created by Or Weiss and Assaf Cohen.
“We set up Permit after building our own permissions systems over and over again,” says Or Weiss, CEO and co-founder of Permit.io. The highest in the organization. ‘
Faults in the access control system pose a serious security risk to applications. Failures can lead to hacking and leaking sensitive information. It is estimated that about 94% of applications contain failures in access control systems.
“The founders of Permit have a unique vision that not only examines what needs to be fixed, but sees before its eyes a completely new and different reality,” says Gigi Levy-Weiss, co-founder of the NFX Foundation. “By understanding what engineers are facing today and the impact this has on organizations, they have been able to create a solution that reorganizes the system, and how it is securely connected through access controls.”
