Web application

There are various options for protecting your web application using Knocknoc

  • Local Linux firewall orchestration on the host (eg: using IPSets)
  • In-line firewall/control device orchestration (Fortigate, etc), via an adjacent Knocknoc Agent deployment
  • HAproxy can sit in front of the web application(s) and forward authorised traffic 
  • Public cloud orchestration (AWS, Azure) 

One major advantage of Knocknoc particularly for legacy web applications without single-sign-on or where shared passwords are forced (eg: ICS/OT network equipment, embedded systems, soho routers etc) is that SSO and MFA are quickly added to these back-ends without change.
