NGINX App Protect Denial of Service (DoS) protects your modern applications against sophisticated application-level (Layer 7) DoS attacks, including GET and POST flooding, Slowloris, Slow read, slow POST, Challenge Collapsar, NAT-disguised, and targeted SSL/TLS attacks.
Mark your calendars for NGINX Sprint 2.0, our virtual user conference taking place August 23–25, 2021. Watch keynotes about our vision for building and scaling modern apps, customer presentations, a series of demos covering a typical modernization journey, and hands-on training sessions.
We have released updates to NGINX Open Source, NGINX Plus, and NGINX Ingress Controller to fix a vulnerability in DNS resolution (CVE-2021-23017). We consider the vulnerability to be low-severity, but encourage users to upgrade to the latest versions.
NGINX Plus R24 introduces support for encrypted JSON Web Tokens (JWE) and integration with F5 Device ID+. The NGINX JavaScript module reaches an important milestone with support for response filtering and use of HTTP-based authentication services for TCP/UDP connections.

Scaling MySQL with TCP Load Balancing and Galera Cluster
TCP load balancing of MySQL nodes in a Galera cluster takes advantage of NGINX Plus' advanced features, including high availability, health checks, logging, and monitoring. We also use NGINX JavaScript to extract the contents of request and response packets for logging the SQL method in each client request.
What Are Namespaces and cgroups, and How Do They Work?
Dive deep into two Linux features that underlie containers: namespaces and cgroups. They enable process isolation, ensuring that multiple processes running on a system don't interfere with one another. Our NGINX Unit application server also uses them for application isolation.
How to Manage Sudden Traffic Surges and Server Overload
Traffic surges and server overload are serious concerns for online retailers anytime, but especially during the year-end "Cyber Season" of shopping. We detail ways you can leverage NGINX's production-grade app delivery solutions to prepare for sudden traffic spikes.
NGINX Is Available in AWS Marketplace for Containers
It's easier than ever to set up a production-grade Kubernetes deployment in AWS. Purchase the NGINX Plus-based version of NGINX Ingress Controller, with or without NGINX App Protect, directly from AWS Marketplace for Containers.
Our Roadmap for QUIC and HTTP/3 Support in NGINX
We describe the state of our QUIC+HTTP/3 implementation, starting with a review of the work we've done so far. Our roadmap includes merging the nginx-quic development branch into the NGINX mainline and implementing performance optimizations. You can help by testing the implementation.
Defending Applications from Complex and Modern Attacks
Layer 7 DoS attacks are a new and increasingly common threat to app performance and security. You need protection that integrates easily into your infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, learns from observing user and app behavior, and doesn't affect performance even during an attack.
How NGINX App Protect Denial of Service Adapts to the Evolving Attack Landscape
We explain how NGINX App Protect Denial of Service (DoS) adapts its mitigation methods in real time to protect against Layer 7 DoS attacks. By creating a model of normal user behavior and server health, it can spot deviations that signal an attack and apply customized mitigation signatures.
Updating Configurations and Managing Certificates at Scale with NGINX Instance Manager
NGINX Instance Manager version 1.0 introduces two new features. Tagging on NGINX instances and user roles enables you to apply configuration to an entire group at once. The certificate scan detects expiring certificates so you can replace them to ensure uninterrupted service.
Easier Deployment and Upgrade of NGINX Service Mesh
NGINX Service Mesh Release 1.1.0 introduces three key enhancements that make it easier to deploy and manage our production-ready service mesh in Kubernetes: Helm support, air-gap installation, and in-place upgrades.
How to Simplify Kubernetes Ingress and Egress Traffic Management
A service mesh can make a Kubernetes environment more complicated if it must be configured separately from the Ingress controller. In this demo and blog we show how to integrate NGINX Plus Ingress Controller with NGINX Service Mesh to control both ingress and egress mTLS traffic.
