Microservices are growing in popularity and use. If done well, they can enable organizations to build and maintain their systems in ways that allow them to scale bigger, deploy faster, and be more resilient than their monolithic counterparts.

This also means securing them is slightly different, requiring us to focus more on specific areas like authentication, authorization, alerting, and resource hardening.

In this course, we’ll introduce new concepts and principles that relate to microservices — specifically focusing on where security is involved and how it can add value. We’ll also share the patterns you can use and different ways you can apply security to your architecture designing flows.
