Authorization is changing, moving from static roles and provisioning to dynamic, real-time, policy-based decisions. But without standardization, modern authorization quickly becomes fragmented and unmanageable.

In this episode of the Analyst Chat, Matthias Reinwarth is joined by David Brossard, contributor and co-chair of the OpenID AuthZEN Working Group, and Phillip Messerschmidt, Lead Advisor at KuppingerCole, to discuss how authorization is evolving — and why AuthZEN is a critical missing standard.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why RBAC is still relevant, but no longer sufficient on its own
✅ How ABAC and PBAC address scalability, context, and dynamic access
✅ Why role explosion and authorization silos limit visibility and governance
✅ How runtime, continuous authorization supports Zero Trust architectures
✅ What AuthZEN standardizes — and what it deliberately does not
✅ How externalized authorization improves auditability and compliance
✅ Why CISOs and architects should start asking vendors for AuthZEN support
✅ How AuthZEN fits into the Identity Fabric and Road to EIC vision

Authentication has been standardized for years — authorization is finally catching up.

Watch now to understand how AuthZEN enables scalable, future-proof authorization for modern applications, APIs, and identity fabrics.
