Salt Security, a prominent API security company serving large enterprises, enhanced its platform by implementing Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) with the help of Permit.io to address growing customer demands for flexible and scalable access control. As their customer base expanded, the need for more sophisticated authorization capabilities became apparent, prompting Salt Security to adopt a system that could manage dynamic roles, policy-based access, and seamless integration with identity providers. By leveraging Permit.io, Salt Security was able to transition from a basic role-based access control system to a more advanced model that includes attribute-based and relationship-based access control. This shift enabled the company to offer customizable role management, enterprise-ready identity integration, and a hybrid deployment model for low-latency authorization decisions, ultimately reducing engineering overhead and improving performance. The new system allowed Salt Security to maintain high performance and compliance standards while ensuring that customers could tailor access controls to their specific organizational needs without building proprietary solutions from scratch.
