JSON Filtering Authorizer

Overview

The JSON Filtering Authorizer is a robust middleware solution that empowers organizations to dynamically filter and mask API JSON response fields based on Policies defined in PlainID. This ensures sensitive data is handled securely, aligning with both internal security protocols and external regulatory requirements. Acting as a seamless intermediary, the Authorizer integrates with API Gateways to process and modify API JSON responses before delivering them to the calling clients, offering a flexible approach to securing data exposure.

By utilizing PlainID's Policy Decision Point (PDP), the JSON Filtering Authorizer enforces granular Policy rules in real time, ensuring that only authorized data is included in API responses. This capability allows organizations to tailor their data protection mechanisms, enabling fine-grained control over how sensitive information is accessed and exposed to end users. With this solution, businesses can enhance their API security posture while maintaining compliance and delivering consistent user experiences.
