So, in this and my next few blogs, I will share some questions you might want to ask as you go about securing your data in a microservices environment.

The term "fake news" has lost much of its meaning, but it describes a real and dangerous Internet trend. Because it's hard for many people to differentiate a real news site from a fraudulent one, they can be hoodwinked by fictitious news stories pretending to be real.
