Security is one of the most difficult and high-pressured concerns of creating an application. The complexity of properly securing an application is compounded when you must integrate this with existing code, new technologies, and other frameworks. This book will show readers how to easily secure their Java applications with the tied-and-tested Spring Security framework, the highly customizable and powerful authentication and authorization framework.

Spring Security is a well-known and established Java/JEE framework that can provide enterprise-grade security features for your application with no trouble. It also has modules that enable us to integrate with a variety of authentication mechanisms, and we will be delving into each of those using hands-on coding in this book.
