Apache Kafka Series - Kafka Security (SSL SASL Kerberos ACL)

Course details

The new volume in the Apache Kafka Series!

Learn Kafka Security, with Encryption (SSL), Authentication (SSL & SASL), and Authorization (ACL). Join hundreds of knowledge savvy students into learning some of the most important security concepts in a typical Apache Kafka stack. 

----------------------------

Kafka Security is important for the following reasons:

Encryption (SSL) for Apache Kafka

> Ensure data is securely transported from machine to machine
> Prevent MIDM (man-in-the-middle attacks) on your Kafka Cluster
> No more PLAINTEXT data going around in your network

Authentication (SSL & SASL) for Apache Kafka 

> Ensure only clients with credentials can access your clusters
> Give each of your clients a user-id, therefore enabling the possibility of controlling their access using ACL

Authorization (ACL) for Apache Kafka

> Ensure the clients can only read / write topics based on administrator rules
> Ensure clients cannot create / delete topics
> Provide the audit team the guarantee that the cluster is secure
