HAProxy gives you the building blocks to create a strong, layered defense against DDoS, malicious bot traffic, vulnerability scanners and more. Using its flexible configuration language, you’ll learn to:

• Define access control lists (ACLs) to block or reroute harmful traffic
• Analyze the behavior of your clients through the in- memory storage, stick tables
• Leverage key-value maps to dynamically update rules
• Protect your services from application-layer DDoS attacks
• Identify and stop malicious bots
• Harness the power of the HAProxy Enterprise WAF to counter sophisticated, Layer 7 attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting
