Spring Security in Action

Spring Security in Action shows you how to use Spring Security to create applications you can be confident will withstand even the most dedicated attacks. Starting with essential “secure by design” principles, you’ll learn common software vulnerabilities and how to avoid them right from the design stage. Through hands-on projects, including a web application and a microservices architecture, you’ll learn to manage system users, configure secure endpoints, and use, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect for authentication and authorization. As you go, you’ll learn how to adapt Spring Security to different architectures, such as configuring Spring Security for Reactive applications and container-based applications orchestrated with Kubernetes. When you’re done, you’ll have a complete understanding of how to use Spring Security to protect your Java enterprise applications from common threats and attacks.
