by The book Microservices Security in Action, which I authored with Nuwan Dias is now available to buy online from Amazon and Manning. Nuwan and I spent last 27+ months writing/re-writing the book.

In other words, we wanted to focus on securing access to microservices with authentication and authorization.

Part 1 takes you through the fundamentals in securing microservices: Part 2 takes you through securing a microservice at the edge (or entry point) in a typical microservices deployment: Part 3 takes you through the process of securing interactions among microservices once a request from a client application passes through the security at the edge and enters into your microservices deployment: Part 4 takes you through deploying and securing microservices in a containerized environment: Part 5 takes you through security testing in the development process: In general, you should be sure to read the first two chapters so that you have the right mindset to take on the challenges of securing microservices and that you’ve gotten your feet wet and are ready to build more complex security patterns, which the book teaches you.
