Layer 7 DoS attacks are a new and increasingly common threat to app performance and security. You need protection that integrates easily into your infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, learns from observing user and app behavior, and doesn't affect performance even during an attack.

This Pride Month, Scott De Buitléir reflects on life lessons he's learned on his LGBTQ+ rugby team, and reviews some projects undertaken by NGINX and F5 over the past year to benefit our local and global communities.

Our goal at NGINX has always been to provide the foundation our customers and community need to deliver modern apps. Based on Abraham Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs for humans, here we show how NGINX offerings satisfy an app's hierarchy of needs at multiple levels.

A “security as code” approach centered around NGINX App Protect is key to protecting your APIs. Integrate non‑disruptive security controls into your automation and CI/CD processes so that app security is baked in from the outset, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Strategies for shifting security left usually ignore WAF and other traditional tools for enforcing run‑time security policies. A complete modern solution needs to include WAF, but one that fits into your CI/CD pipelines and helps smooth friction between Security and DevOps.

To protect and evolve your Kubernetes infrastructure, you need more than visibility -- you need insight. The monitoring tools built into NGINX Ingress Controller and NGINX Service Mesh help you diagnose real-world problems like poor app performance and resource exhaustion.

An often-overlooked benefit of NGINX Plus is how it makes protecting yourself against security threats quick and easy. We proactively inform NGINX Plus subscribers of security vulnerabilities and patches, provide help during attacks, support JWT and OIDC authentication, and more.

Microservices March is a month-long virtual festival of microservices activities here at NGINX. Whether you’re already using Kubernetes in production or your interest is just blossoming, you’re sure to find sessions to pique your interest. Check out the schedule on our blog!

NGINX App Protect secures gRPC APIs by detecting malicious data in message headers and payloads, nested and complex data structures included. Define security policies in gRPC IDL files, and NGINX App Protect applies them immediately with no changes to its configuration.

With the F5 Beacon integrations for NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source, you understand the entire application experience from end to end. Our SaaS offering ingests and displays telemetry data, and can perform synthetic health checks for added context and visibility.
