🎯 Coming Next Week!
🔐 Mastering Authorization in Spring Boot with @PreAuthorize

Ever wondered how to secure your Spring Boot endpoints beyond just roles?
In my upcoming video, I’ll show you how to use the powerful @PreAuthorize annotation — including custom logic — to take your app’s security to the next level.

💡 Example:
✅ Only the creator of a resource can update it
✅ Others must be authenticated but have limited access

This video is part of a series I’m currently working on — crafted for developers who want real-world, production-grade security in their Spring Boot apps.

📽️ Stay tuned!
If you’re building anything with Spring Security, you don’t want to miss this one.

🔁 Share with a fellow dev who’s serious about securing their apps.

🚨 Your Web App Could Be Under Attack… Right Now! 🚨

Did you know that over 70% of web attacks happen at the application layer?
Hackers aren’t just scanning your server—they’re targeting your login pages, APIs, and forms with SQL injections, XSS scripts, and bots designed to break your app.

💥 That’s where a WAF (Web Application Firewall) comes in!
A WAF acts as your app’s first line of defense, inspecting every request, blocking attacks, stopping malicious bots, and keeping your backend safe — before the threats even reach your code.

🛡️ Think of it like a security guard that NEVER sleeps.

In my next video, I’ll break down:
✅ What a WAF really is (in simple terms)
✅ Why every developer and business needs one
✅ How modern WAFs use AI & behavior analysis to catch threats
✅ A hands-on demo of one of the best open-source WAFs you can deploy TODAY

🔔 Stay tuned! You won’t want to miss this if you care about securing your web apps.
