## What it is
SecurityBundle is the official Symfony bundle that integrates the Security component into the Symfony full-stack framework. It provides configuration and wiring for authentication, authorization, firewalls, voters, password hashing, and CSRF protection in Symfony applications.

## Use cases
- add authentication to a symfony app
- configure login firewalls and user providers
- implement role-based authorization with voters
- hash and verify user passwords securely
- protect routes with access control rules
- enable csrf protection on forms
- integrate ldap authentication in symfony

## When to choose
- you are building a Symfony application and need authentication or authorization
- you want the officially supported, framework-integrated security layer
- you need firewall, voter, and password-hashing configuration via Symfony config

## When to avoid
- you are not using the Symfony framework (use symfony/security-core directly)
- you need a standalone auth service outside a Symfony app
- you use another framework like Laravel or a micro-framework

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: auth, authorization, security, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, security
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: symfony, symfony-bundle, authentication, firewalls, voters, csrf, password-hashing, php, web-server
