Learn Spring Security for Backend Development

Anastasia Khramushina

Cybersecurity has become a hot topic in the past several years. With so much information being available online these days, it is crucial to keep it safe. The growing importance of information security requires adequate technologies that can prevent malicious attacks on sensitive data. One such technology is Spring Security – a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control Java framework. It provides authentication, authorization, and other security features for web applications.

To help you learn about up-to-date information security standards and their implementation, we are happy to introduce our new track on JetBrains Academy – Spring Security for Java Backend Developers!
