How Spring Security Protects Your Web Application
Spring Security is a powerful and customizable framework for securing web applications in the Spring ecosystem. Here’s how it safeguards your application:
1️⃣ Authentication: Verifies user identities through login forms, HTTP basic authentication, OAuth2, and more.
2️⃣ Authorization: Controls user access with roles and permissions, defining who can access which parts of the application.
3️⃣ Protection Against CSRF: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks are prevented by validating tokens in requests.
4️⃣ Session Management: Manages user sessions securely, limiting vulnerabilities like session fixation.
5️⃣ Password Encoding: Encrypts passwords using algorithms like bcrypt, preventing plain-text storage.
6️⃣ Security Headers: Adds default security headers (X-Content-Type, X-Frame-Options, etc.) to secure requests and responses.
7️⃣ OAuth2 and JWT Support: Enables integration with OAuth2 for secure SSO and JWT for stateless session handling.
Secure your application effectively with Spring Security – customizable, reliable, and robust!
