A microservice architecture brings new challenges to API Security and careful design needs to be applied at operations and development level to ensure corporate data is properly protected from unwanted access.
In this session we explain what API security encompasses, why API security needs to be considered as early as possible in the lifecycle of the microservices, how known standards such as OAuth and OpenID Connect can be leveraged to authenticate and authorize access to microservices and give practical examples and recommendations for the design and deployment of microservice architectures.
