Threat Visibility and Analytics with NGINX Controller App Security Organizations at all different phases of the digital transformation journey are adopting DevOps practices to make app development and deployment more efficient. At the same time, one requirement remains paramount: apps must be protected from malicious traffic. In support of that goal, many organizations are applying a common DevOps practice – monitoring app performance after deployment for insights into required fixes or potential new features – to security as well. In particular, they’re using threat visibility and analytics tools that reveal what malicious traffic consists of and what part of the app it is targeting. Threat visibility enables security (SecOps) and development (AppDev) teams to monitor security compliance and assess changes to the threat surface of apps as new app versions get released. As with monitoring the performance of new app versions for [ more… ]

Introducing the NGINX Controller App Security Add-On for Application Delivery When NGINX released NGINX Controller 3.0, we explained that our guiding principle in developing the new version was “we can do better”. Our customers had told us over and over that the traditional infrastructure‑centric approach to traffic management and load balancing was often too slow, too complex, or too difficult for DevOps and Developer teams to use. So we introduced an application‑centric approach that makes it easier to deploy and manage apps. With Controller’s app‑centric approach and APIs, modern app teams can thrive because the infrastructure team can now offer traffic management and load balancing as a self‑service function to their DevOps and Developer teams. This ensures high availability and high performance of their apps, resulting in a great user experience for their customers. Even with self‑service traffic management enabled [ more… ]

The State of Modern App Delivery 2020: Results from Our Annual User Survey As a company with its roots in the open source community, we’ve always relied on input from community members, as well as our customers, to help us choose and prioritize new features and enhancements. One of the best sources of input is your responses to our annual survey. This year we concentrated on how you’re developing and deploying your apps – in particular how you’re using microservices, containers, and infrastructure platforms, and what your challenges are. Check out the complete infographic: Modern Apps and Microservices As in the industry at large, more and more of the organizations where you work are migrating from monolithic to microservices‑based apps. And there’s a complementary increase in use of these technologies in production environments. This suggests a growing confidence that microservices‑based apps [ more… ]
