Azure API Management – Security Deep Dive

1,5 days (3 training days from 8.45 AM until 12.30 PM)

This training focusses on all topics related to Azure API Management security. At the end of the training, we apply the gained knowledge on real-life use cases. Based on several real case studies, you will learn how to determine the right security model for your APIs. We will design and implement state-of-the-art security, by covering both the front- and backdoor. You will learn how to deal with application & user identities and how these can be passed to the backend APIs.

This training is valuable for developers, architects and operators.

After attending this training, you will know how to:

• Determine the right security model for your APIs

• Design and implement state-of-the-art security for your APIs
