BP196: Use a common security framework to ensure consistency in the security approach across microfrontends.
Use a common security framework to ensure consistency in the security approach across microfrontends. Micro frontends are a way of breaking down a large application into smaller, more manageable pieces. Each micro frontend is responsible for a specific part of the application, and they can be developed and deployed independently. However, this can lead to inconsistencies in the security approach across the micro frontends. To ensure that all micro frontends follow the same security approach, it is important to use a common security framework.
A common security framework provides a set of guidelines and best practices for implementing security in micro frontends. It can include things like authentication, authorization, and data protection. By using a common security framework, developers can ensure that all micro frontends are following the same security approach. This makes it easier to manage security across the application and reduces the risk of security vulnerabilities.
For example, if one micro frontend is using JWT tokens for authentication and another is using session cookies, it can be difficult to manage and secure the application. By using a common security framework, all micro frontends can use the same authentication approach, making it easier to manage and secure the application. This can also make it easier to onboard new developers, as they will be familiar with the security approach used in the application.
