Only NetScaler uses a one-pass architecture for traffic processing that enables it to perform web application firewall (WAF) inspection in a single pass. This significantly reduces the latency of each request for optimal application performance. And because advanced WAF capabilities come built in with NetScaler, there’s no need to purchase a separate WAF solution.
For the most comprehensive protection from OWASP Top 10 attacks to zero-day exploits, NetScaler WAF employs a hybrid security model that incorporates policies, profiles, and signatures to protect against known and unknown web application attacks.
To save you time, NetScaler WAF uses automated learning, called dynamic profiling, to understand how a protected application works. By using a repetitive-pattern filter, NetScaler WAF adapts to the application even as developers continue to develop and deploy it, so it is always protected.
NGINX App Protect application security solution combines the efficacy of
advanced F5 web application firewall (WAF) technology with the agility and performance of
NGINX Plus. The solution runs natively on NGINX Plus and addresses some
of the most difficult challenges facing modern DevOps environments:
- Integrating security controls directly into the development automation pipeline
- Applying and managing security for modern and distributed application environments such as containers and microservices
- Providing the right level of security controls without impacting release and go-to-market velocity
- Complying with security and regulatory requirements
NGINX App Protect offers:
- Expanded security beyond basic signatures to ensure adequate controls
- F5 app‑security technology for efficacy superior to ModSecurity and other WAFs
- Confidently run in “blocking” mode in production with proven F5 expertise
- High‑confidence signatures for extremely low false positives
- Increases visibility, integrating with third‑party analytics solutions
- Integrates security and WAF natively into the CI/CD pipeline
- Deploys as a lightweight software package that is agnostic of underlying infrastructure
- Facilitates declarative policies for “security as code” and integration with DevOps tools
- Decreases developer burden and provides feedback loop for quick security remediation
- Accelerates time to market and reduces costs with DevSecOps‑automated security
