Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Matthew Tester, and welcome to my course, Securing Application Secrets in ASP.NET Core. I'm a technology consultant and cloud architect at Pure Blue Consulting in New Zealand. Applications rarely run in isolation, connecting securely with other systems using passwords and keys that need to remain secret. Losing control of these secrets can have huge consequences for your business or organization. In this course, we're going to learn how to protect application secrets all the way from development to production. Some of the major topics we will cover include the common anti‑patterns to avoid when dealing with secrets, how to safely work with secrets during development, using a Key Vault for securing secrets in production, and how this can be achieved in both .NET Core and .NET Framework. By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of safe development practices for managing secrets when building your own applications. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with C# and have some familiarity with either ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about managing secrets with the Securing Application Secrets in ASP.NET Core course, at Pluralsight.
