AuthZEN: The “OpenID Connect” of Authorization
Tuesday, December 09, 2025 / 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM CST
About the Session
A year ago, we introduced Gartner attendees to a new standard, OpenID AuthZEN that promised to establish a standard for fine-grained authorization. A year later and two interops later, we're happy to report that the draft is nearing final specification and that we have completed 3 new interops focusing on API gateways, the AuthZEN Search API, and IdP integrations. With AuthZEN, IAM teams can confidently externalize and standardize authorization across their application estate without being locked in to a proprietary API. Gone are the days of incomplete authorization and gaps in access control logic. With OpenID AuthZEN we are closer to enabling the Zero Trust Enterprise. This session will review the progress achieved in the past twelve months, highlight the milestones, and demo the latest integrations.
