It might not be sexy, but everyone uses authorization technology. Here I sit with the founder/CEO, Jake Moshenko, of authzed.com/ This video teaches viewers why authorization—the system that determines who or what is allowed to do specific actions—is becoming one of the most critical infrastructure layers in the AI era. While authorization has traditionally been a back-end enterprise concern, the rise of AI agents, agent swarms, autonomous tools, robotics, and eventually brain-computer interfaces makes it a frontline issue for both businesses and consumers. The interview explains how authorization is evolving from a “boring IT function” into foundational infrastructure for the agentic future.

We updated our Timeline of Model Context Protocol (MCP) Security Breaches post to include the latest security breaches. You can read more about major MCP-related breaches and security failures - what happened, what data was exposed, why it happened, and what they reveal about the new threat surface LLMs bring into organizations. authzed.com/blog/timeline-mc…

In SF this weekend? Join us at the JetBrains Codex Hackathon - we will be onsite helping teams with agent authorization as well as participating as judges. 1st place winners receive a $3000 cash award. Learn more here and join us, cerebralvalley.ai/e/jetbrain…

Your coding agent needs better permissions, and so does the code it writes - that is why today we are introducing SpiceBox, fine-grained permissions for AI coding agents, and spicedb-dev, authorization expertise for your coding agent. Both tools are open source, learn more on our blog, authzed.com/blog/spicedb-dev…

AI is moving fast but most teams are still relying on authorization models that weren’t built for it. AI initiatives are stalling not because of technical complexity but because the permissions layer wasn't designed for it. We wrote more about why you need to think about modernizing authorization in the AI era here, authzed.com/blog/authorizati… If this is top of mind for you, join us today for SpiceDB Community Day where we will explore how to implement permissions for AI workflows (hear from Manuel de la Peña of @Docker talk about Permission-Aware RAG and Mark Fogle of @clawtocracy talk about how SpiceDB Stops Agentic Oversharing) and get a SpiceDB Update too. You can register or tune in here at 10 am PT, authzed.com/events/spicedb-c…

Introducing the SpiceDB Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW) for PostgreSQL, a new experimental way to bring real-time authorization context from SpiceDB into Postgres queries, all without duplicating data, rewriting policies, or embedding authorization logic where it doesn't belong. Read more here and try it out yourself, authzed.com/blog/spicedb-pos….

About 15 minutes until go time - join us live where we will be talking about what permissions agents should have and why. What do you want an agent to access when it is acting on behalf of you or as an employee? authzed.com/events/falsehood…

Happy Permission Checks Year! We're starting out 2026 by giving individuals at organizations the fast path to implementing the same authorization technology used by companies like OpenAI, Workday, Turo and more. We're giving away $700 worth of credit to try out AuthZed Cloud and see the value of a scalable authorization solution. This credit is enough to fund weeks of authorization.
