Trusted Globally
The Problem
Agents are ephemeral and unpredictable. Prompts can change behavior instantly, adding entropy or malice. Static API keys and standing permissions are dangerous.
Agents are not users. They are attack magnets. Traditional identity systems were built for human logins, static roles, and coarse permissions — that breaks with agent-driven software.


The Shift
The Shift: Agents don't care where software runs.
The Merger: Identity, Governance, and Zero Trust must collapse into one requirement.
The Gap: Static roles and SSO (Login-Time) cannot govern high-velocity agent actions.
The Solution: Real-time, fine-grained authorization at every hop.
Permit.io unifies policy, delegation, approvals, trust, and audit into one action-time policy fabric — for humans, services, and AI agents.
Defense in Depth
Zero setup. Put the gateway URL in front of your upstream MCP server to enforce interrogation and policy. Then carry that context downstream so the same policy follows the action wherever it lands.

Authenticate humans, identify agents, gate tokens, collect consent, and govern tool access in real time.
Enforce fine-grained policy in APIs and services with low-latency PDPs close to the workload.
Protect sensitive queries, rows, columns, and downstream operations with contextual authorization.
This is defense in depth for AI adoption — not just monitoring, not just auth, and not just one choke point.
Get Started FreeAgentic-Native Identity
We create agentic identities on the fly by “interrogating” the agent via MCP. Identity is bound to intent — if prompt injection alters intent, the fingerprint breaks and access is denied.
Bring your own identity. Delegate access to agents within policy-defined limits.
Scoped permissions. Map trust to real permissions — from read-only exploration to tightly governed write actions.
Computed signature of intent. Dynamic verification asks: What are you trying to do? Are you accessing sensitive data?
Evaluate the request with identity, context, relationship, and intent at decision time.


The Brain Behind the Gate
Keep your IdP for authentication. Keep your existing developer stack. Use Permit.io to add the missing layer: fine-grained, action-time authorization for agentic workflows.
Distributed: Decisions happen in-VPC at the edge.
Fast: Sub-millisecond decision latency.
Flexible: RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC out of the box.
Open: Built on OPA and OPAL.
Works with your identity provider, your gateways, your APIs, your cloud, and your policy engines. Managed or self-hosted. Hybrid by design.
Guardian Agents
Agents that watch system behavior and audit logs.
Identify malicious anomalies static rules miss.
Automatically recommend security policies to counter threats.

For Every Team
A consistent authorization plane across MCP, APIs, services, and data — without stitching together point products.
A practical bridge between IAM, IGA, PAM, and zero-trust controls for agentic systems.
A credible path to AI adoption with least privilege, human consent, blast-radius reduction, and auditable control.
SDKs, APIs, Terraform, GitOps, and policy-as-code workflows that fit how modern teams actually ship.
End-to-End Security
Others secure a layer. Permit secures the chain. From the agent's prompt to the specific database row, policy is enforced consistently.
One platform, from app authorization to AI agent security. Permit.io gives teams a single foundation for modern authorization.


Unified Control
ZTA, IGA, and PAM in one gateway
Real-time traffic enforcement with vibe-coded IGA and PAM to manage permissions, audit logs, and privileged access requests in a single flow.

Enterprise-Ready by Design
From regulated workloads to high-scale product platforms, Permit.io helps teams modernize authorization without sacrificing speed, control, or architectural flexibility. Supporting hundreds of millions of identities at sub-50ms latency.
