F5 WAF on NGINX

Lightweight WAF embedded in the NGINX data plane for CI/CD and container-native pipelines.

Overview

This demonstration targets platform and DevOps teams who want security enforced as close to the workload as possible. F5 WAF for NGINX runs as a module alongside NGINX Plus, giving you app protection inside the same container or pod that serves the traffic. You will deploy a policy as code, commit a deliberately vulnerable change and watch the pipeline block the resulting attack path. The narrative centres on shifting security left without asking developers to learn a new console.
