Implementing Holistic Layer 7 App Security with NGINX

Ensuring application security isn’t easy. Securing modern apps – made up of APIs and microservices and deployed across distributed operating environments – is even more difficult. Adding to this already significant challenge is the fact that one of the most common application attacks – denial of service (DoS) – has become harder to defeat. Layer 7 DoS attacks are currently on the rise and often come disguised as legitimate HTTP traffic. As a result, they can evade detection by traditional network security solutions – negatively affecting app performance, the user experience, and ultimately the bottom line. Over 30% of US consumers walk away from a brand they love after a single bad experience, which means the stakes have never been higher. Combating this rising threat requires an advanced, purpose‑built solution that helps modern app teams:

• Prevent attacks with a dynamic, automated approach that analyzes site and user baseline behavior to detect anomalies
• Align to DevOps principles, like CI/CD, so that security enforcement doesn't disrupt the application development and deployment pipeline
• Ensure application security with no performance degradation – even during an attack
• Build a fully integrated, interoperable app delivery and security platform that reduces complexity

Join this webinar to learn how NGINX’s newest security offering – NGINX App Protect Denial of Service – can help you stop these advanced attacks in their tracks. We also showcase the solution in a live demo and have NGINX security experts available to answer your questions.
