By isolating security tasks into distinct filters that process requests in sequence.
The Filter Chain architecture allows each security concern to be handled by dedicated filters, such as authentication, authorization, and logging. Each filter processes requests sequentially, which allows for modular and scalable security management. In an e-commerce platform, this means you can add or remove security features like logging or CORS without altering the entire security configuration.
