Advanced API Security for Kubernetes Containers Running in AWS

Advanced API security for Kubernetes containers running in AWS. In this demo we show how to deploy NGINX App Protect in Kubernetes as part of a CI/CD pipeline in a per-service mode.

Description: In this demo we show how to deploy NGINX App Protect in Kubernetes as part of a CI/CD pipeline in a per-service mode. You may want to consider deploying WAF as a per‑service proxy when the following conditions are true:

WAF policies are under the direction of a DevSecOps team and are specific to a small number of services.

Updates to the policies can be managed by either a suitable container‑aware API, or by updating the WAF proxy Deployment.

The WAF device operates appropriately in a Kubernetes environment.

Learn what are the most important API security threats engineering leaders should be aware of and steps you can take to prevent them

After the special 100th edition last week, which was all about API security advice from the industry’s thought leaders, this week we are back to our regular API security news, and we have twice the number of them, from the past two weeks.

This week, see recent API-related vulnerabilities at Twitter and Grandstream Networks, the newly added support for mutual TLS (mTLS) in AWS API Gateway, and more.
