LinkedIn – Microservices: Security 2025-1

Microservices: Security. This course is a practical guide for developers to protect microservices from cyber threats. With the rise of cyberattacks, securing microservices is a significant challenge due to their unique complexity. This course provides practical solutions to help developers secure their systems using multi-layered strategies. Participants will learn the fundamentals of information systems security and the challenges specific to microservices, such as distributed authentication and advanced access management. Course instructor Kevin Bowersax will teach security patterns including identity management, access control, and secure communications between services. Additionally, using API Gateway and identity providers to enhance security, securing containers, and other advanced topics are covered. Key topics in the course include microservice security fundamentals, identity management, token-based security, service-to-service communication security, and containerized application security. This comprehensive training equips developers to address security challenges in modern microservice architectures.

What you will learn

• Basic concepts of microservice security: Includes security challenges specific to microservices and fundamental principles of information systems security.
• Identity Management and Access Control: Distributed access management patterns, Identity and Access Management (IAM) platforms, API gateways, and various access scenarios.
• Token-based security and standards: Introduction to tokens, the OAuth 2.0 protocol, using OAuth in Microsoft Entra, registering client applications, issuing and validating tokens, and maintaining and protecting tokens.
• Security between microservices: Protecting east-to-west traffic using MTLS, the importance of monitoring and logging, and the role of the Service Mesh in security.
• Application and container security: throttling and rate limiting methods, container runtime security, image security, container security auditing, secrets management, pipeline security and preventing the disclosure of sensitive information (credentials), and storing secrets with Key Vault.

This course is suitable for people who:

• Software developers: who work with microservices and want to improve their security.
• Security engineers: who seek a deeper understanding of security challenges and solutions in microservice-based architectures.
• System architects: who are responsible for designing and implementing distributed systems with a focus on security.
• System administrators and DevOps experts: who are responsible for deploying and maintaining microservices and containers and need knowledge of runtime security and secrets management.
