Essential Spring Security

In this session, you'll learn how to take advantage of the latest features of Spring Security and Spring Boot to secure an application, both at the web layer and at the method-level.

Information is probably the most valuable item we now have; crooks are looking for ways to steal our data and identities by sneaking into unsecured applications. As software developers, we must take steps to protect the information that resides in our applications. Whether it’s an email account protected with a username/password pair or a brokerage account protected with a trading PIN, security is a crucial aspect of most applications.

Spring Security is an extension to the Spring Framework that provides security to Spring applications both at the HTTP request level as well as at method invocation.
