NetScaler Connect is a monthly webinar, held by NetScaler Community, targeting to release any updates of NetScaler technologies to our valued partners and customers. In this June webinar we will cover: HTTP/ 3 Protocol frontend demo: Showcase of support for HTTP/3 on NetScaler (only on the frontend). HTTP/3 offers several advantages over HTTP/2, particularly for web applications that require low latency, high throughput, and high reliability. It can establish connections faster than HTTP/2, using 0-RTT or a single round-trip handshake, which can improve user experience and performance. Speaker: Subhojit GoswamiObservability Demo. Speaker: KarthickADS Support for Azure and Site Recommendations in Multi-site Apps Delivery: With Azure support in ADS Service available officially, ADS Service can streamline and improve the hybrid cloud app delivery. Together with Site Recommendation in ADS Service, customers can choose the optimal points of presence based on real-time Internet statistics.

Modern software apps use code from various sources, including proprietary and open source libraries. Cutting corners on security, like neglecting user authorization at the start or failing to scan for vulnerabilities later, puts your apps and APIs at risk of attacks. Our NetScaler Security Expert, Pons Arun, will debunk cybersecurity myths and explain essential concepts, from basic to advanced, to safeguard your application delivery. In Part 1, we covered the distinction between network firewall and web application firewall. Now, in Part 2, we'll delve into advanced web app attacks, beginning with Resource Exhaustion Attack.

NetScaler Web App Firewall (WAF) Profile and WAF Signatures protect your web applications from malicious attacks. WAF signatures provide specific, configurable rules to simplify the task of protecting your websites against known attacks. Since the process takes a lot of time due to operational overhead, the WAF recommendation tool reduces the time to deploy WAF rules and realize its value faster. NetScaler experts will demonstrate: How to run the WAF Recommendation tool that creates rules and signature selectionReview the scan report and deploy the same on the ADCDetails information can be found in the following eDoc link:NetScaler WAF Recommendation in ADM service: https://docs.netscaler.com/en-us/citrix-application-delivery-management-service/analytics/security/waf-recommendation.html#:~:text=WAF%20scan%20recommendation%20process&text=Simulates%20security%20attacks%20on%20the,the%20analysis%20of%20the%20trafficNetScaler Web App Firewall: https://docs.netscaler.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/application-firewall/introduction-to-citrix-web-app-firewall.htmlFor more latest NetScaler technical information, please feel free to register and visit our NetScaler Community: https://community.netscaler.com

Microservices applications require an ingress proxy that accepts traffic from outside the Kubernetes (K8s) environment and distributes it to pods running inside K8s. Common use cases for using an ingress proxy are L4-L7 traffic management, authentication, health checks, monitoring, WAF, and bot protection. NetScaler not only supports these common use cases, but also offers reliable and better performance for microservices applications. In this live demo, NetScaler experts will cover these use cases: Accessing microservices applications using the Kubernetes ingress resourceIP blacklisting, such as blocking client IPs from accessing the applicationTroubleshooting ingress controller issuesFor more information of NetScaler Cloud Native App Delivery solutions, please visit: https://docs.netscaler.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/cloud-native-solution.html For more latest and hottest technical information of NetScaler, please visit NetScaler Community. https://community.netscaler.com/

Are you finding it difficult and time-consuming to manually monitor the performance of multiple business-critical applications? Are you struggling to proactively detect application issues and prevent them from affecting your users? And even if you identify problems, are you having trouble troubleshooting and remedying them? Luckily, you can simplify your workload by using NetScaler to deliver apps to your users, along with Application Delivery Management (ADM), which provides 24/7 monitoring of application performance, no matter where the apps are located. With NetScaler operating in the core data path of your applications and handling all transactions, ADM Service, through App Insights, offers visibility and observability via the Application Dashboard, enabling you to measure application performance and detect any potential issues.

There are different ways to deliver your web apps from public clouds, such as Azure or AWS, but most of them are complicated in nature. Additionally, if you want to diversify your cloud use and adopt a multi-cloud strategy, your team will also need to master a number of different skill sets for each cloud provider deployed. The AppCentric workflow in NetScaler App Delivery and Security (ADS) Service enables you to focus on the app-related configuration and the apps themselves. Being as a NetScaler-managed ADC-as-a-Service, once the target app is configured, there is no need to subsequently manage the infrastructure and networking configurations. All the non-app-related configuration details are omitted, making the configuration workflow nice and clear. Also, the app-centric workflow is intent-based and self-healing where applicable, simplifying operations. In this short video, you will learn more about NetScaler's user-friendly AppCentric capabilities. For more information on AppCentric configuration, please visit: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-app-delivery-and-security/citrix-managed/deliver-a-modern-application.html For more information on ADS Service, please visit: https://www.citrix.com/products/citrix-app-delivery-and-security/
