Heimdall: An Identity-Aware Proxy for Secure Access Control

Modern distributed systems demand scalable, robust authentication and authorization. While different protocols and services exist to address these needs, seamlessly integrating them remains a challenge. Heimdall, an open-source identity-aware proxy, simplifies this process by abstracting authentication and authorization methods, enabling developers to focus on business logic without worrying about protocol-specific complexities. This session features a live demo showcasing heimdall’s flexibility in integrating diverse protocols and authorization systems, demonstrating enhanced security, scalability, and reduced developer effort without any loss of control over access decisions.
