Attendee Info & Inquiries
In this talk, we explore the emergence of a new class of WASM (WebAssembly) embeddable Policy Decision Points (PDP) products, such as Cerbos’ ePDP and Janssen Cedarling, and why they represent a significant leap forward for modern enterprises.
Application architectures are evolving, with applications running in a variety of different environments, deployment models, and localities - often at the same time - so managing their security in a consistent and scalable way is vital. With recent standardization efforts in both the WASM and authorization ecosystems, WASM-powered PDPs are now a viable approach. These are designed from the ground up to run efficiently in diverse runtimes—within browsers, mobile apps, at the edge, or in the cloud. These PDP solutions deliver fine-grained authorization, auditability, and consistency across microservices, APIs, and multi-cloud ecosystems. This portability makes it easier than ever to integrate robust authorization logic directly into distributed applications, without sacrificing performance or security all whilst maintaining the centralized policy administration identity professionals have come to expect.
Whether you're a CISO focused on governance, a developer optimizing externalized policy management, or an architect building scalable systems, this session will explore how WASM-embeddable PDPs reshape enterprise security and policy enforcement.
