Intro to NGINX App Protect

NGINX App Protect (NAP) is a modern application security solution designed to work seamlessly in DevOps environments as you deliver apps from code to customer. Built on F5’s market-leading WAF and bot protection, NGINX App Protect runs natively on NGINX Plus and integrates security controls into your application.

In Introduction to NGINX App Protect you’ll perform a basic configuration of NAP in NGINX. You’ll review the default NAP policy. You’ll set NAP logging. You’ll then create and test policies and troubleshoot common policy configuration issues. You’ll work with an NGINX-provided Kibana visualization of NAP. Finally, you’ll perform a software update.
