Spring Security is a framework within the Spring ecosystem that provides authentication, authorization, and protection against common web vulnerabilities (like CSRF and session fixation) for Java applications. It supports various authentication mechanisms including form login, OAuth2, JWT, and LDAP, and integrates tightly with Spring Boot and Spring MVC. Java developers use it as the standard way to secure enterprise applications and APIs.
