Securing Microservices with Zero Trust
This hands-on workshop focuses on applying Zero-Trust principles to microservices. You'll learn how to design systems where every service, request, and interaction must be authenticated, authorized, and auditable.
Through real-world examples and practical exercises, you'll gain the tools to recognize security blind spots in distributed systems and apply patterns that harden your architecture without sacrificing developer productivity.
What you’ll learn:
- Why traditional perimeter-based security fails in microservices
- Core principles of Zero Trust
- Designing clear service boundaries for least-privilege communication
- Securing message brokers and asynchronous communication patterns
- Identity propagation, impersonation protection, and access control
- Techniques for dealing with token expiration
- Partial security for message personalization
- Implementing certificate rotation
- Logging, audit trails, and anomaly detection in a Zero-Trust environment
Who this workshop is for:
Software engineers, architects, DevOps, and platform teams building or maintaining microservices-based systems.
This workshop is ideal for those seeking to implement modern security models like Zero Trust while maintaining flexibility and performance across distributed architectures.
