The book describes various methods of authentication and authorization within the context of enterprise information systems. The starting point is the problem that data and information, data flows, and information flows need to be protected both locally and over the network. To address this, the book identifies several areas and protective measures, detailing how to combine them and how they can be implemented based on existing technologies. Potential implementation patterns are also described. Readers will learn how to protect data, particularly in the context of the GDPR and the increasing distribution based on cloud-native architectures. It is no longer sufficient to implement a simple user login; rather, extensive and highly granular security mechanisms must be implemented at various levels depending on the criticality.
