High Performance Application Security Testing – Cloud WAF Security Platforms

This free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research features analyst Jake Dolezal and will focus on comparing Web Application Firewall (WAF) security platforms in an enterprise with high performance needs.

This webinar will discuss web application security mechanisms deployed in the cloud. The cloud enables enterprises to differentiate and innovate with microservices at a rapid pace. However, the cloud is just as vulnerable, if not more so, to attacks and breaches as on-premises APIs and apps are. Our focus is specifically on approaches to securing apps, APIs, and microservices that are tuned for high performance and availability. We define “high performance” as companies that experience workloads of more than 1,000 transactions per second (tps) and require a maximum latency below 30 milliseconds across the landscape.

In this webinar, we will reveal the performance tests of security mechanisms on NGINX, AWS, and Azure, specifically: ModSecurity, NGINX App Protect WAF, AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF), and Azure WAF.

Why Attend?

You will discover:
• Feature, architecture, and deployment differences in leading cloud WAF security platforms
• How to enforce rigorous application security while maintaining high performance
• Our testing methodology and how you can repeat these tests
• Latency and throughput performance of leading WAF solutions at up to 5,000 API requests per second and allowable requests mixed with blocked potentially malicious traffic

Who Should Attend:
• CSO/CIOs
• Security managers/directors
• Security engineers
• Security administrators
