Web Application Firewall Runtime Defense for Applications and APIs

Web and Mobile Applications, by design, increase your attack surface and change rapidly in today's digital first economy. Increased visibility, ownership, tooling, and management of your APIs will help reduce the attack surface and help rationalize user behavior and mitigate business logic abuse and data breach — these are just a few of the outcomes that a successful API Security program should provide. Securing the enterprise, both on-premises and in the cloud, is a challenge in today's landscape.

API Security with OAuth2.0 using JWT Tokens

The purpose of this lab is to demo how NGINX Controller API Management Module and NGINX App Protect can secure the OAuth Authorization Code flow, which is core to Open Banking specifications. The NGINX App Protect will be deployed as an Ingress Controller for Kubernetes and will provide both negative and positive security by ingesting the OpenAPI declaration file. The NGINX API Gateway will be controlled by NGINX Controller, will publish the application API based on the same OpenAPI declaration file, will provide JWT authentication and authorization and enforce rate limiting. The deployment and configuration of these elements will be performed automatically through a CI/CD pipeline. ELK dashboards will be used for visualization purposes and, lastly, a DAST tool will also be run as part of the CI/CD pipeline. BIG-IP APM is deployed as both Authorization Server with OpenID Connect support and as OAuth Client, in separate instances.
