Protecting your web applications is easy using NGINX App Protect DoS, a lightweight, modern application and API software security solution that seamlessly integrates security policies into DevOps environments to enable security as code as a Layer 7 Denial of Service (DoS) defense. NGINX App Protect DoS runs on all platforms, architectures, and AWS hybrid environments while delivering consistent performance and protection across your entire infrastructure. It can be deployed in a variety of locations to protect your cloud-native apps which include at the Edge as a load balancer, reverse proxy, or embedded on the API gateway to reduce complexity, TCO, manual oversight and tool sprawl. It can provide detailed observability and insights via security log integration with external SIEM tools. NGINX App Protect DoS enables scalable DoS/DDoS protection for web applications, microservices, cloud-native apps, and APIs that run natively on NGINX Plus to deliver strong security, high-performance and low latency across your AWS hybrid environments.
NGINX App Protect Denial of Service (DoS) is a dynamic software security module that uses eBPF with XDP technology to accelerate mitigation of app and API DoS/DDoS attacks at Layer 7. NGINX App Protect DoS is easy to implement, requiring minimal setup and configuration to get started, and can also be used as a stand-alone security solution and operate without the installation of NGINX App Protect WAF. Designed to defend traditional HTTP/HTTPS and modern HTTP/2 applications, like gRPC and WebSocket, against even the most sophisticated DoS/DDoS attacks that include GET and POST flood attacks, Slowloris, Slow read, Slow POST, NAT evasion attacks and targeted SSL/TLS attacks.
NGINX App Protect DoS establishes a baseline for normal traffic patterns using machine learning based algorithms and analysis of over 300 metrics related to client behavior and application/API health, to significantly reduce false positives. It constructs and deploys dynamic signatures to mitigate attacks automatically, then continuously measures mitigation effectiveness and adapts to changing behavior or health conditions. Attack details are shared among multiple NGINX Plus instances to help mitigate potential future attacks even if only one instance was attacked. NGINX App Protect DoS adaptive learning allows for no-touch policy configuration and delivers consistent DoS/DDoS protection to ensure zero-day protection. NGINX App Protect DoS provides a configurable, robust, multi-layered defense to deliver the best strategy to mitigate attacks per individual application. This includes blocking IP addresses of bad actors, blocking bad requests with attack signatures, and applying global rate limiting as needed.
NGINX App Protect DoS security solution helps SecOps and DevOps teams work together in migrating towards a shift left or DevSecOps strategy by facilitating security as code for consistent app security automation. This lightweight software package provides a continuous feedback loop for threat mitigation effectiveness, enabling developer agility and empowering organizations to bring applications to market at speed without compromising on security.

NGINX Plus with NGINX App Protect DoS Premium - RHEL 8
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour for this software running on an Amazon EC2 instance you choose. Pricing is not tiered by feature set. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large memory-, compute-, and storage-optimized machines, including bare metal options. The hourly rate scales with the size and capability of the instance you select. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. You run one rate at a time based on your chosen instance, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Am I charged for the software when my EC2 instance is stopped?
Software charges accrue per hour while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not run the software, so hourly software charges pause. You may still owe separate AWS fees, such as storage for the instance's disk, but those are billed by AWS, not by this listing.
What does the hourly rate cover in this listing?
The rate covers NGINX Plus bundled with F5 WAF for NGINX and F5 DoS for NGINX on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. This gives you a web application firewall plus layer 7 denial-of-service protection running on the EC2 instance size you launch.
If I move to a larger EC2 instance, does my rate change automatically?
Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate. If you launch a new, larger instance, that instance bills at its matching rate. The change is not automatic on a running instance; you select the instance size when you launch, and the rate follows that choice.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
When a new AMI is deployed for the first time, the latest version of NGINX Plus, NGINX App Protect WAF and NGINX App Protect DOS will be installed, auto-configured and started. NGINX Plus status can then be checked by running: service nginx status, and the NGINX Plus default index page will be accessible on public EC2 instance address. Please use SSH to access your instance for management purposes with the following usernames, for Ubuntu: "ubuntu", Amazon Linux/RHEL: "ec2-user", Debian: "admin". NGINX Plus configuration can be found in /etc/nginx and the documentation is available on the instance locally (as a PDF), and at https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/. NGINX App Protect WAF documentation is available at https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-app-protect-waf/. NGINX App Protect DOS documentation is available at https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-app-protect-dos.
