Securing AI: A Journey Through Access Control Systems

Valencia Codes would like to welcome you all to our #23 edition of Level Up at the offices of Deutsche Telekom.

What is Level Up? It's a monthly meet-up where we will be inviting speakers from inside and outside of our community to introduce you to interesting technical topics and share their experiences with you.

Securing AI: A Journey Through Access Control Systems by Carla Urrea Stabile, Sr. Developer Advocate @ Auth0

Remember when you started working on that application and only admins could do that one action? Then that quickly evolved to having others being able to do that other action and you ended up with a bunch of different roles, attributes, etc to handle all those cases? Ha, welcome to the world of access control systems!

In this talk, we’ll follow the journey of a project that begins with no access control, progresses to Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), struggles with Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), and ultimately finds its footing with Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA). You'll see how this journey becomes even more important in modern applications, especially when thinking about things like AI. In this process, you’ll learn how OpenFGA addresses the growing complexity with a relationship-based model that’s both flexible and scalable.
