Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications

As a developer, you maybe ask yourself: "How to get started to secure my Cloud Native Java application?"

In this session, we focus on how to get started with application security from two perspectives:

• Authentication and authorization implementation
• Platform security

That includes the following topics:

• How to implement authorization and authentication with the Open Source Identity and Access Management system Keycloak and JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
• How to secure external access to a Kubernetes cluster with TLS
• How to secure communication between Microservices with Istio and mTLS

The content is based on the example application from the OpenSource Github project #CloudNativeStarter, built with Quarkus and Microprofile.
