Easily View, Manage, and Scale Your App Security with F5 NGINX
Organizations typically use between 200 and 1,000 applications, many of them public facing and a direct gateway to customers and their data. While these apps enable critical functions, they’re also a common target for bad actors. A web application firewall (WAF) is a critical tool for securing apps by providing protection, detection, and mitigation against vulnerabilities and attacks. However, WAFs can be difficult to maintain and manage at scale. In this webinar, we explore how centralized visibility and configuration management of WAFs can decrease risk and save time.
Keep Ahead of Evolving Cyberattacks with OPSWAT and F5 NGINX
With advancing technology and the ever-evolving landscape of cybercrime, it is more important today than ever to reduce file-borne attacks, secure encrypted traffic, and protect your networks.
In this webinar, we discuss the latest developments in the threat landscape, why shared responsibility matters for critical infrastructure, and how you can mitigate future threat vectors with the F5 NGINX Plus Certified Module from OPSWAT.

In this hands-on demo and lab, we take you step-by-step through installing NGINX Unit on a Linux system, then configuring it as an app server, web server, and reverse proxy. Following a short review of production features and demo of the lab environment, we let you loose in a disposable lab environment to try NGINX Unit for yourself. During the lab, we’re available online to answer questions or demo anything you might be stuck on.
Protecting Apps from Hacks in Kubernetes with NGINX
Kubernetes has become the platform of choice for deploying modern applications. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is the most common solution to providing run-time protection for applications (well, second most common, after blind -faith and protective amulets). The question is, how do you put a WAF in place for applications running on Kubernetes?
As for most IT questions, the obvious answer is, of course, “it depends.” But on what?
In this webinar, we look at how a WAF works, where to insert a WAF in your infrastructure, and the best way for a platform engineering team to create self-service WAF configuration on Kubernetes. We explore some sample configurations, and provide a demo of NGINX App Protect WAF in action.
Successfully Implement Your API Strategy with NGINX

https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/successfully-implement-your-api-strategy-with-nginx/
About the Webinar
Cloud-native applications are distributed and decentralized by design, composed of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of APIs connecting services deployed across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments. Without an effective API strategy in place, API sprawl quickly gets out-of-control and becomes unmanageable as the number of APIs in production outpaces your ability to govern and secure them.
In this webinar we explore trends that are accelerating API sprawl and look at some well-established best practices for managing, governing, and securing APIs in distributed environments. Our presenters also demo how to use API Connectivity Manager, part of F5 NGINX Management Suite, to streamline and accelerate your API operations.
Installing and Configuring NGINX Open Source
This pre-recorded 101-level lab and demo takes you from a “blank” LINUX system to a full-featured NGINX application delivery configuration for serving web content and load balancing.

Software Delivery and the Rube Goldberg Machine: What Is the Problem We Are T...
The software delivery life cycle (SDLC) can be complicated. Depending on your architecture and your particular deployment environment, your team may find themselves cobbling together numerous different tools and frameworks, each with its own history and a particular set of challenges it's designed to solve. Sometimes teams find creative ways to use tools outside of their original purpose. It’s a cycle of continuous improvement (secure, deliver, monitor, reflect, make changes, and repeat) with the end goal of easing the process. In this session Melissa McKay, Developer Advocate at JFrog, discusses some of the common problems that teams face during the development and delivery process, and how organizations come together to address them. You will leave empowered and with a call to action to become part of the solution.

A Guide to Adopting Kubernetes
Kubernetes is a core component of most modern app delivery strategies because it helps organizations deliver apps faster with more agility and avoid costly downtime. But adopting Kubernetes is far from easy for organizations that are used to delivering three-tier apps. How do you decide which apps to refactor and which to build from scratch? What kinds of processes and tools can help you avoid common challenges around security and complexity? Join this session led by Rey Lejano, Kubernetes Field Engineer at Racher, for answers to these common questions.
