Securing AWS Application Load Balancer with Mutual TLS: A Step-by-Step Guide
Securing AWS Application Load Balancer with Mutual TLS: A Step-by-Step Guide
Mutual TLS (mTLS) adds an extra layer of security by authenticating both the server and the client during a TLS handshake. It is widely used for secure communications in environments where both parties must establish a trusted connection between microservices or when allowing trusted clients to access a sensitive application. When implemented with AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB), mTLS ensures that only authorized clients can communicate with your applications, offering robust and certificate-based authentication. This podcast will walk you through setting up mutual TLS with AWS ALB and ensuring secure application communication.
