SoK: Security of Microservice Applications: A Practitioners' Perspective on Challenges and Best Practices. (arXiv:2202.01612v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Cloud-based application deployment is becoming increasingly popular among
businesses, thanks to the emergence of microservices. However, securing such

nature. The situation is exacerbated by the scattered nature of guidelines and
best practices advocated by practitioners and organizations in this field. This
research paper we aim to shay light over the current microservice security
discussions hidden within Grey Literature (GL) sources. …
