Course Overview

The F5 course Securing Applications with NGINX+ is designed for NGINX administrators, security operations engineers, and application delivery professionals seeking to master advanced security configurations within the NGINX ecosystem. While the official curriculum references this content under the title "Securing NGINX Deployments," it directly supports skills measured in the F5 Certified Administrator, NGINX certification. This training equips learners to implement TLS encryption, configure access control via rate limiting and IP allow/deny lists, secure API traffic using JWT authentication, and apply best practices for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocols. With over 400 million websites relying on NGINX technology globally, demand for professionals skilled in securing NGINX deployments continues to grow across cloud, SaaS, and enterprise environments.

Participants engage with core F5 technologies including NGINX Plus, NGINX App Protect, TLS/SSL protocols, JWT authentication, OAuth 2.0, and dynamic certificate loading. The hands-on lab environment is based on a Linux command-line interface where students build secure configurations from the ground up, including setting up HTTPS servers, implementing dynamic IP deny-lists, configuring logging for rate-limited requests, and securing API gateways. A key real-world scenario involves hardening an application front-end against common threats by combining rate limiting, client certificate enforcement, and secure upstream communication. These labs mirror production challenges faced by DevOps and security teams managing high-traffic web applications.

This course prepares candidates for the F5 Certified Administrator, NGINX credential—a globally recognized certification validating expertise in NGINX security and configuration. Passing all four exams (NGINX Management, Configure: Knowledge, Configure: Demonstrate, and Troubleshooting) at $50 each with a scaled passing score of 245 leads to a two-year valid certification, enhancing career credibility. Certified professionals report salary increases of up to 20% in roles involving application security and infrastructure management. Koenig Solutions offers this training with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official F5 courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery. Completing this path empowers engineers to lead secure application delivery initiatives in modern, distributed environments.
