DESCRIPTION
This month at GRWebDev we’ll hear from Alex Patterson of Google Developer Groups as he explores the latest advancements in online security, specifically the integration of reCAPTCHA v3 and Firebase App Check. As online threats continue to evolve, it is critical to employ effective measures to protect user data and prevent malicious attacks.

reCAPTCHA v3 provides a seamless user experience with a new score-based system that determines the level of risk for a user. This score can then be used to mitigate suspicious behavior and stop fraudulent activity before it occurs.

Firebase App Check takes this one step further by providing real-time protection against unauthorized access to your application. With the integration of reCAPTCHA v3, Firebase App Check can now detect and block bot traffic, improving the overall security of your app and reducing the risk of data breaches.

This presentation will cover the technical details of how reCAPTCHA v3 and Firebase App Check work together to provide a robust security system for your app, as well as the benefits and limitations of this integration. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to implement these technologies in their own applications to protect their users and data.

Join us in person at Little Space Studio or virtually via Zoom on Monday, April 24th at 6pm EST!
