Spring Security vs IBM Secure Gateway: What are the differences?
Developers describe Spring Security as "A powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework". It is a framework that focuses on providing both authentication and authorization to Java applications. The real power of Spring Security is found in how easily it can be extended to meet custom requirements. On the other hand, IBM Secure Gateway is detailed as "Create a secure, persistent connection between your protected environment and the cloud". It provides a quick, easy, and secure solution to connect anything to anything. The solution provides a persistent connection between on-premises or third-party cloud environments and the IBM Cloud®.
Spring Security and IBM Secure Gateway are primarily classified as "Security" and "User Management and Authentication" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Spring Security are:
- Comprehensive
- Servlet API integration
- Protection against attacks
On the other hand, IBM Secure Gateway provides the following key features:
- Quickly set up gateways to connect your environments, manage the mapping between your local and remote destinations, and monitor all of your traffic
- All communication with Secure Gateway is easily configurable to provide TLS encryption and mutual authentication
- Resource monitoring
