S7E16 | Apache Kafka Security Explained: Encryption, Authentication & Access Control (ACLs)

In this episode of PithorAcademy Presents: Deep Dive, we focus on Kafka Security—a must-know for real-world and enterprise-grade deployments. Without strong security, Kafka pipelines are vulnerable and unsuitable for production.

We cover:

Encryption (SSL/TLS) – securing data in transit

Authentication (SASL, SSL) – verifying clients and brokers

Access Control (ACLs) – restricting who can produce and consume

By the end, you’ll understand how to secure Apache Kafka clusters with encryption, authentication, and fine-grained access control, ensuring compliance, reliability, and enterprise readiness.
