[Video 349] Stepan Ilyin: Making applications secure with NGINX

nginx is an increasingly popular HTTP server, in no small part because of its ability to scale massively. Because of its modular architecture, nginx is used not only on its own, but also with many third-party modules that add functionality to the core HTTP server. One module, Naxsi, provides administrators with the ability to filter (and reject) certain patterns of URLs, request headers, locations, and other suspect requests that might cause more harm than good. In this talk, Stepan Ilyin introduces naxsi and other nginx-based security techniques that, if used, can reduce the chances of someone taking down your Web application.
