AppSec and microservices

Microservices are all the rage, but unfortunately so are security breaches. Sam Newman explains what you can do to have one without the other, exploring the many different ways in which you can secure your fine-grained, distributed architectures.

Microservices allow us many options to pick different technologies, mix synchronous and asynchronous integration techniques, or embrace different deployment patterns. But they also offer a variety of options for how we think about securing our systems. Done right, microservices can increase the security of your vital data and processes. Done wrong, you can increase the surface area of attack. Sam Newman discusses the fundamentals of application security in the context of microservices, exploring the many different ways in which you can secure your fine-grained, distributed architectures.
