securing microservices

Securing microservices involves protecting individual components of a software application that perform specific functions. Each microservice communicates with others, often over the internet. To ensure safety, we use techniques like authentication (verifying who can access services), encryption (scrambling data to prevent unauthorized access), and regular updates (fixing vulnerabilities). Measures are also taken to monitor for suspicious activity and implement firewalls that help block potential threats. By securing each microservice, we ensure the entire application is more resilient against attacks and maintains the privacy and integrity of user data.
