Hybrid and multi-cloud architectures are becoming the expected standard for architecture teams to buildout and for operations teams to maintain and deploy. Ever faster DevOps workflows are now an expectation for any digital enterprise, not a goal. And the code DevOps teams are pushing out is typically now packaged in containers, creating an increasingly distributed application landscape.
So how can organizations still practice effective application security policy without impacting or crippling their modernization initiatives? NGINX can help with that.
These slides will cover:
NGINX Plus as an integrated, cloud-native Load Balancer and API Gateway in NGINX Plus
NGINX App Protect as the new cloud-native WAF extension for NGINX Plus
Demo of both working in tandem to set:
Edge routing policy
Edge Security Policy
And Extending down to Granular, Per-App Security Policy

The NGINX Application Platform is a suite of products that together form the core of what organizations need to create applications with performance, reliability, security,
and scale. The NGINX Application Platform includes NGINX Plus for load balancing and application delivery, the NGINX WAF for security, and NGINX Unit to run the
application code, all monitored and managed by NGINX Controller.
