Products and components
Products from Axiomatics enable efficient XACML-based authorization. We provide a range of products to support all aspects of XACML Policy Life Cycle Management.
XACML policy life-cycle management
The Axiomatics eXtensible authorization solutions are strongly anchored in the XACML standard. They are the leading implementations of both XACML 2.0 and XACML 3.0. The Axiomatics solutions also extend the capabilities of XACML to handle a broader range of business scenarios. Three complementary products areas support all aspects of XACML policy life-cycle management, enforcement and auditing.
Axiomatics policy life cycle management suite
Axiomatics Policy Server
The Axiomatics Policy Server (APS) is a powerful access control system that allows users to manage, simulate and enforce fine-grained policies written in the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML).
Axiomatics Reverse Query
Authorizations impacting large data sets in multiple dimensions can be difficult to manage with XACML permit/deny decisions. Axiomatics unique and patented reverse querying technology extends XACML policy-based authorization to huge data sets.
Axiomatics Policy Auditor
The Axiomatics Policy Auditor (APA) simplifies the analysis and validation process of XACML policies. It is designed for use by managers, controllers and auditors, and features a user-friendly web-based graphical interface with minimal use of technical jargon.
Policy Administration Points
The XACML policy language is almost as expressive as a natural language. However, computers are rigid and therefore the XACML grammar must be strictly adhered to. You need an editor with a complete language support. The APS Policy Administration Point (PAP) is the most advanced XACML policy authoring and debugging tool available on the market.
Policy Information Points
Policy Information Point (PIP) is used as a general term for an attribute store. IT organizations typically have too many directories and databases, not too few. The last thing they need is an authorization service that comes with yet another one. Axiomatics eXtensible authorization solutions are therefore built to integration with existing sources that can be used as trusted attribute stores.
Policy Decision Points
A Policy Decision Point (PDP) loads XACML policies into memory and evaluates XACML requests against these policies. The response to a request is typically either Permit or Deny.
Policy Enforcement Points
Axiomatics offers XACML Policy Enforcement Points (PEP) for a broad variety of environments.
