API Security in a Cloud Native Era
The cloud is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for deploying enterprise applications. Microservices are at the core of building cloud-native applications due to its proven advantages such as granularity, cloud-native deployment, and scalability. With the exponential growth of the consumer base of these service offerings, enforcing microservice/API security has become one of the biggest challenges to overcome.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- The need for API/Microservices Security
- The importance of delegating security enforcement to an API Gateway
- API Authentication and Authorization methodologies
- OAuth2 - The de-facto standard of API Authentication
- Protection against cyber attacks and anomalies
- Security aspects to consider when designing Single Page Applications (SPAs)
