Securing Multi-tenant ASP.NET 4 Web Apps from Pluralsight

Building multi-tenant sites are a great way to minimize the amount of duplicate code you need to write. This course teaches you how to secure your multi-tenant ASP.NET websites, and how to limit threats to your multi-tenant code.

All website developers need to understand the basics of securing the sites they work on. Multi-tenant sites are no different. In this course, Securing Multi-tenant ASP.NET 4 Web Apps, you'll learn the skills to add the extra security layers necessary to secure and defend your sites from outside threats. First, you'll gain a better understanding of how ASP.NET Identity works to authenticate users to your site, and learn the customizations to handle multi-tenancy. Next, you'll explore specifically how to protect your ASP.NET MVC views that support static pages, and your WebAPI REST services that support single page apps. Finally, you'll discover how to implement JSON Web Tokens and Two Factor Authentication in your site. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the tools and knowledge to make the best decisions on how to implement multi-tenant security on your ASP.NET website.
