User management is a major headache for software companies. 50% build custom authentication, and a staggering 95% create their own authorization—a drain on resources costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Within the $21.5 billion Identity and Access Management (IAM) market, growing at 15%, Prefactor offers a unique solution. Our platform is the first to offer a powerful domain-specific language (DSL) purpose-built for unified user management. Engineers can use the DSL to define authentication, authorization, and auditing logic in one place, embedding secure user workflows directly within their applications.
