The Future of Authorization: Exploring OpenID’s AuthZEN Draft 4

As organizations modernize their applications, APIs, and services, authorization often remains fragmented across proprietary interfaces and inconsistent implementations.

OpenID AuthZEN is an initiative from the OpenID Foundation that aims to standardize how applications request and receive authorization decisions. By introducing a common authorization API, AuthZEN helps improve interoperability between applications and authorization systems.

In this on-demand webinar, our solution experts and special guest Gerry Gebel explore AuthZEN Draft 4, its key updates, and what the evolving specification means for developers, architects, and security teams implementing modern access control.
