At the end of this workshop, you will have a solid understanding of do's and don'ts with OAuth 2.0 and OIDC, along with actionable guidelines on securing your applications.

In this training, we will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect

- Best practices for securing OAuth 2.0 and OIDC flows
