Cerbos Secures $7.5 Million Seed Funding for Growth
Cerbos, a pioneering company specializing in adaptive authorization software and based in the bustling city of London, UK, has successfully raised a significant sum of $7.5 million in Seed funding. This fundraising effort has brought the company's total capital to an impressive $11 million. The funding round was spearheaded by Omers Ventures, a well-regarded venture capital firm, and also received contributions from several notable angel investors including Ryan King, Zeynep Inanoglu Ozdemir, Zach Holman, Zach Lloyd, and Lewis Tuff. With this financial backing, Cerbos is poised to refine and expand its offerings, further enhancing its position in the competitive software market.
Founded by two visionary individuals, Emre Baran, who serves as the CEO, and Charith Ellawala, the CTO, Cerbos focuses on providing cutting-edge solutions through its flagship product, Cerbos Cloud.
This innovative open-source authorization layer is designed to facilitate the implementation of roles and permissions within software applications. The platform distinguishes itself by separating authorization logic from the core application code, which allows organizations to scale their authorization processes efficiently as complexities in their systems grow. This separation not only simplifies the development process but also enhances security and flexibility within applications.
Cerbos Cloud is loaded with a variety of features aimed at developers, making the management of permissions straightforward and efficient. The managed cloud infrastructure takes on the responsibility of policy management, streamlining coordination with the Cerbos instances that operate within the application environment. One of the standout aspects of Cerbos is that it does this without imposing external dependencies, ensuring that developers maintain complete control while benefiting from low-latency authorization checks. Furthermore, the managed Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline simplifies the testing and distribution of policies, enabling developers to keep policies stored within their GitHub repository, thus retaining control over access management. Additionally, the Cerbos Lite bundles, which leverage the power of WebAssembly, facilitate authorization for both on-device and edge location applications, all while utilizing a unified set of policies as established in their primary authorization service deployments. This groundbreaking approach not only enhances efficiency but also broadens the potential applications of Cerbos' technology in diverse environments.
