Format: Paperback / softback Length: 616 pages Publication date: 05 October 2020 Publisher: Manning Publications Microservices Security in Action is a comprehensive guide that empowers readers to safeguard their microservices applications' code and infrastructure. Following a concise introduction to the complexities of microservices security, the book delves into essential principles to secure both the application perimeter and service-to-service communication. Through a hands-on example, readers explore the deployment and security of microservices behind an API gateway, as well as the access of microservices accessed by a single-page application (SPA).Key Features:Comprehensive coverage of fundamental microservices security concepts.In-depth exploration of secure service-to-service communication using mTLS and JWT.Step-by-step guidance on deploying and securing microservices with Docker.Applied Kubernetes security techniques.Effective security strategies for event-driven microservices.Integration of the Istio Service Mesh for enhanced microservices security.Designed for developers with a solid understanding of microservices design principles and a basic familiarity with Java.About the Technology:As microservices continue to revolutionize enterprise application systems, developers and architects must embrace security as an integral part of their design and implementation. Due to their nature as a system of independent components, each serving as a potential point of failure, microservices can amplify security risks.Prabath Siriwardena, the vice president of security architecture at WSO2, a leading open-source software company, brings over 12 years of expertise in identity management and security to the table. Nuwan Dias, the director of API architecture at WSO2, has a wealth of experience spanning more than 7 years in the software industry, with a significant focus on API management. Together, they have contributed to the development of robust security designs for Fortune 500 companies, including Boeing, Verizon, Nissan, HP, and GE.Microservices Security in Action offers a practical and comprehensive approach to securing microservices applications, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect their digital assets in the evolving landscape of modern software development.
