In Software Security for Developers you will learn how to:
Software Security for Developers is a hands-on guide for working developers. It minimizes the abstract and complex security theory, instead focusing on the practices you need to secure applications running on Kubernetes and the cloud. In it, you’ll learn how to take advantage of pre-built security services in your daily development. Author Adib Saikali takes a developer-to-developer approach, sharing hard-won lessons from many years securing software in real-world environments. Easy-to-follow sample applications written in Java take you hands-on with security standards and protocols, turning complex concepts into practical solutions.
In Software Security for Developers you will learn how to:
- Configure industry standard security protocols correctly
- Quickly debug errors and exceptions form security libraries
- Utilize the developer-friendly Google Tink cryptography library
- Work with X.509 digital certificates for implementing application security
- Setup passwordless logins using the WebAuthentication protocol
- Implement single sign on using OpenID Connect protocol
- Establish authentication and authorization services using the Spring Authorization Server
- Make use of popular secret storage solutions including HashiCorp Vault, AWS KMS, Google KMS, and Azure Key Vault
- Use the security features of Kubernetes to secure deployed applications
- Securely containerize application code

A great guide covering security essentials for application developers in the 2020s. It simplifies complex topics & prepares you to handle real-world application security concerns.
Have a look at this book if you want to skill up on security topics! And don't fear mathematics, that's totally abstracted away, so that you can focus on the practical aspect of it.
Read this book If you want to write secure code by understanding what you are writing.
Provides an entry point into the technical breadth required to be a security-conscious developer. It isn't lofty and gets to the point in short order. Highly recommended.
A very solid introduction for jack-of-all-trades developers who need to implement security but aren't full time security engineers.
Great foundational book on application security for modern applications.
Very good coverage of all you need to know.
The concept is inviting, the writing sound, the experience insightful, and the content invaluable.
