F5 NGINX App Protect
#Application Protection#Application Security
A developer-first, API-driven platform that provides development teams with a suite of tools to improve code quality, security, and engineering performance, seamlessly integrated into their existing development workflows.
F5 NGINX App Protect: A Comprehensive Web Application Firewall
F5 NGINX App Protect is a web application firewall (WAF) that is specifically designed to protect modern applications and APIs. It operates effectively across distributed architectures and hybrid environments, ensuring robust security.
The solution seamlessly integrates into DevOps workflows
The solution seamlessly integrates into DevOps workflows as a lightweight security component. It offers layer 7 denial-of-service (DoS) protection, bot defense, and API security.
It runs natively on F5 NGINX Plus and F5 NGINX Ingress Controller
It operates natively on F5 NGINX Plus and F5 NGINX Ingress Controller, which makes it platform-agnostic. This allows for deployment options ranging from edge load balancers to individual pods within Kubernetes clusters.
Key capabilities include:
- API security for REST, GraphQL, and gRPC protocols
- Layer 7 DoS mitigation utilizing behavioral analytics and machine learning
- Bot protection to defend against automated attacks
- Protection against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
- Security automation through a declarative API-based deployment approach
- Centralized visibility and management of policies
- Integration of threat intelligence to identify sophisticated attack campaigns
Integrating Security into CI/CD Pipelines
The solution is designed to be integrated into CI/CD pipelines as "security as code." This approach enables development teams to incorporate security controls early in the application development lifecycle, ensuring that security is an integral part of the development process.
It aims to reduce operational costs through advanced technologies
Its goal is to lower operational costs by utilizing machine learning and adaptive policy configuration, all while ensuring consistent protection across multi-cloud environments.
