Security is all about trade-offs you make with your always limited resources, often a problem when designing a system or an after-thought. Only a few have the expertise to design good security and most development teams have no security expert. This talk focuses on Security Patterns for designing security in architectures, such as Role-based Access Control, Single Access Point, and Front Door.
