Course Overview
The Introduction to NGINX App Protect by F5 is designed for security engineers, DevOps professionals, and application delivery architects seeking to implement modern web application security in dynamic environments. This course provides foundational knowledge for deploying and managing NGINX App Protect (NAP), a Web Application Firewall (WAF) built on F5’s industry-leading security technology. While no direct certification exam is tied exclusively to this course, it supports preparation for the broader F5 Certified Administrator, NGINX track, which validates expertise in securing applications with NGINX technologies. With over 40% of Fortune 500 companies adopting NGINX for application delivery, demand for professionals skilled in integrated security solutions like NAP continues to grow.
Participants engage with core tools including NGINX Open Source, NGINX Plus, NGINX Ingress Controller, Kibana for log visualization, and the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for security event analysis. The hands-on labs are conducted in a Linux virtual machine environment where students install and configure NGINX App Protect WAF 5 to protect real-world applications such as JuiceShop and Online Boutique. Learners build and test custom security policies, configure logging via the `app_protect_enforcer_address` directive, and analyze attack data using pre-built Kibana dashboards. A key lab scenario involves automating policy deployment through a CI/CD pipeline, simulating real DevSecOps workflows where updated threat signatures are dynamically applied to production systems.
This training prepares candidates for the F5 Certified Administrator, NGINX certification, a globally recognized credential demonstrating proficiency in secure application delivery. Professionals with NGINX and F5 skills command competitive salaries, with specialized roles averaging $120,000–$170,000 annually in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with official F5 courseware, one-on-one instructor support, and Guaranteed-to-Run batches, ensuring flexible and reliable access to training. Upon completion, learners are equipped to integrate robust security into CI/CD pipelines, enabling organizations to deploy applications faster while maintaining compliance and resilience against OWASP Top 10 threats.
