Year in review: 2025

Cerbos evolved from a developer-focused authorization tool into a complete enterprise authorization management platform in 2025. The company expanded Cerbos Hub to support full policy lifecycle management with Git-based workflows, audit trails, and programmatic policy deployment. Key developments included first-class support for AI agents and non-human identities, addressing authorization challenges in RAG systems, MCP servers, and automated workflows. The platform now handles both human and non-human identities with runtime context evaluation and least privilege enforcement. Cerbos gained industry recognition through Gartner acknowledgment, multiple awards, and 4x demand growth, while contributing to authorization standardization efforts through the AuthZEN working group.
