Case Study: a major telecommunications operator in Poland achieves stronger microservices security with Software Mind

Major Telecommunications Operator in Poland boosts microservices security and fully mitigates SSRF risks with Software Mind

Software Mind helped a major telecommunications operator in Poland that was struggling with the security of its distributed microservices architecture. The client's existing authentication solution was inadequate, leaving communications vulnerable to interception and exposing the system to significant risks, including Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks.

The solution implemented by Software Mind was an OAuth 2.0 and JWT-based authentication and authorization layer, designed to integrate seamlessly with the client's existing Spring, Micronaut, and Quarkus frameworks. This approach fully mitigated SSRF risks by enforcing IP restrictions, authentication across all services, and preventing port scanning and file exploitation. Software Mind delivered improved security, seamless integration, enhanced scalability for future microservices, and simplified management of access policies.
