Architectural Patterns Focus: Security

Wed, 23 April

In this session, we will discuss architectural concerns regarding security. How do microservices communicate securely with one another? What are some of the essential checklist items you need to ensure secure communication and data protection? The session will cover key security concepts and tools, including:

  • Valet Key
  • mTLS and Sidecars
  • Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
  • SASL
  • HashiCorp Vault Keys
  • SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials)
  • JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)

Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Software Architects, as it focuses on designing secure architectures, especially in microservices environments where secure communication and data protection are critical. Security Professionals are the secondary audience, as they will benefit from understanding the tools and techniques discussed to secure service interactions. OpsTech Professionals may also find value in this session, as secure communication between services has direct operational implications, particularly in maintaining system integrity and compliance.
