Authorization
Enforcement Point
The control point that applies the decision made elsewhere.
Definition
An enforcement point is the place where an access decision is executed in practice. It accepts, rejects, limits, or interrupts a flow according to the rules and decisions it receives from a decision point. In a Zero Trust architecture, it is the operational gate between identities and resources.
The Ariovis perspective
Authorization policies should be separated from application code when consistency, auditability or scale require it. Enforcement remains close to the resource while the decision is governed independently.
