An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Curity offers a standards based identify management solution tailored for API security, and leverages the extensibility points of the JSON Web Tokens (JWT) tokens to propagate authorization properties across a sequence of API calls.
Curity’s core product is a full featured customer identity access management (CIAM) and identity access management (IAM) product with centralized ID management and support for passkeys, multi-factor authentication, and single sign on (SSO) workflows.
CIAM and IAM product capabilities configure and enforce authentication policies and mechanisms for users signing on to applications and web pages.
Curity offers an additional feature important for APIs, i.e. looking up authorization policies and privileges associated with a login ID and adding them to the JWT using JWT extension points. Authorization issues are among the OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerabilities.
Curity is a cloud component their customers operate, and offered by a tiered subscription based pricing model.
