Apache Kafka is one of the most popular streaming platforms. While using it for real-time data streaming and event-driven use cases, there may be an exchange of sensitive information among various systems within an organization and also among different organizations. That means securing the data in-flight with Kafka becomes very important.

In this meetup, we will go over the concepts and configurations for enabling authentication using SCRAM/OAuth2, authorization using SimpleAclAuthorizer, and encryption between client applications and Kafka brokers using SSL/TLS.

Apache Kafka's Open Source community has contributed multiple Kafka Security options for Authentication, Authorization, and Encryption. We will go through a few of them with a live demo and also talk about best practices for the same.

This meetup is co-sponsored by Peapod Digital Labs (https://www.peapod.com) and EGEN (https://egen.solutions).
