Spring Security Core: Beginner to Guru

Seems like everyday you can find a news story about a security breach, which can be devastating to companies.

Clearly, security is a very important topic.

The Spring Framework is the most popular Java framework for building cloud scale applications.

Spring Security provides you all the tools you need to secure your Java application.

Application security is much more than allowing access after checking a user name and password. You will learn how to limit what application features a user may or may not see. And also, how to limit what data a user may or may not see.

This course focuses on the core fundamentals of Spring Security.

Central to Spring Security is the process of Authentication. This is the process of establishing a user’s identity. 

Once a user’s identity is established, the process of Authorization is used to allow the user to access specific actions and features of an application.

Spring Security has a very robust toolset for Authentication and Authorization.

Inside this course, you will master both.

You will start the course by learning how to leverage the auto–configuration capabilities of Spring Boot to quickly secure a web application using HTTP Basic Authentication.

Then, you’ll be lead through a series of exercises, to replace and customize the default Spring Boot auto–configuration.
