EBOOK
About
Spring Security in Action shows you how to prevent cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks before they do damage. You'll start with the basics, simulating password upgrades and adding multiple types of authorization. As your skills grow, you'll adapt Spring Security to new architectures and create advanced OAuth2 configurations. By the time you're done, you'll have a customized Spring Security configuration that protects against threats both common and extraordinary.
Summary
While creating secure applications is critically important, it can also be tedious and time-consuming to stitch together the required collection of tools. For Java developers, the powerful Spring Security framework makes it easy for you to bake security into your software from the very beginning. Filled with code samples and practical examples, Spring Security in Action teaches you how to secure your apps from the most common threats, ranging from injection attacks to lackluster monitoring. In it, you'll learn how to manage system users, configure secure endpoints, and use OAuth2 and OpenID Connect for authentication and authorization.
About the technology
Security is non-negotiable. You rely on Spring applications to transmit data, verify credentials, and prevent attacks. Adopting "secure by design" principles will protect your network from data theft and unauthorized intrusions.
