Now that your APIs are developed, it's time to talk about how to secure them. This course covers API security using the Apigee API platform. We'll learn about how to properly secure your APIs by covering topics such as the types of OAuth, TLS, and SAML to name a few. We'll apply these concepts with hands on labs to implement proper authentication and validation in your APIs.

TOP REVIEWS FROM API SECURITY ON GOOGLE CLOUD'S APIGEE API PLATFORM

Course was brief but gives you lots of references to continue learning about OAuth2 which is a kinda hard topic to master, but the course does set you up to real world work,

This course was not so interesting as the previous two modules. Too much of handwritten code all the way using configurations prone to human errors and very cumbersome.

About the Developing APIs with Google Cloud's Apigee API Platform Specialization
This three-course specialization will introduce you to the many out of box capabilities of the Google Cloud Platform (Apigee) and how to apply them to your APIs to properly implement and secure them. Through a combination of video lectures, hands on labs, and supplemental materials, you'll learn how to design, build, and deploy your API solution using services on the Google Apigee Platform.
This specialization is intended for API designers and developers and is considered to be fundamental. We highly recommend this training prior to working on the Google Apigee Platform
This specialization will allow you to spin up your own free environment and develop your first set of APIs as the instructor walks you through a specific real world scenario.
