Making use of ModSecurity WAF in the ingress-nginx
Posted 2021-07-30

This post is about enabling the ModSecurity feature for ingress-nginx in practice.

ModSecurity is an open source web application firewall (WAF). It can help you provide an additional layer of security in front of your application. I will leave the the what and how on usnig a WAF for others to talk about (there quite a few good blog posts available on the web on this topic), and this post will soley focus on enabling the functionality in ingress-nginx.
