In this tutorial, you'll learn about Auth0 Security. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.
Auth0 provides multiple security layers from tenant configuration to runtime threat detection.
// Security configuration best practices
// 1. Enable brute force protection
// Dashboard: Security -> Anomaly Detection -> Brute-Force Protection
// 2. Set up rate limiting for token endpoints
const rateLimit = {
mode: 'block',
per_ip: { max_requests: 100, window_ms: 60000 },
per_client: { max_requests: 1000, window_ms: 60000 }
};
// 3. Configure MFA policies
const mfaPolicy = {
provider: 'any',
factors: ['otp', 'push-notification'],
enforce_for: ['/api/v2/scans', '/dashboard/admin']
};
// 4. JWT token validation on API side
// Token expiry, issuer, audience, signature verification
function validateToken(token) {
return jwt.verify(token, jwksClient.getSigningKey, {
issuer: `https://${tenant}.auth0.com/`,
audience: 'https://scan-api.example.com',
algorithms: ['RS256']
});
}
Defense-in-depth security with Auth0 protects both authentication endpoints and your application APIs.
