Overview

Learn the best practices to protect HTTP-based APIs using Spring
Security.
This course will teach you
not only how to secure new Spring

security to existing ones.

As REST APIs become more and more common, securing them from unauthorized access and protecting them from hacking attacks is vital.

First, you’ll explore how to add authentication to your REST endpoints. Next, you’ll discover how to pass claims and scopes into your web-based application. Finally, you’ll learn how to secure both your HTTP endpoints and the service layer methods that implement their logic. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Spring Security needed to write secure HTTP-based APIs for your websites, mobile apps, and other programmatic clients
