This podcast covers:
How reverse proxies function as gatekeepers, shielding backend servers from the public internet. Acting as intermediaries, reverse proxies intercept incoming traffic, forward it to the appropriate backend server, and then return the server's response to the user, all without revealing the server's private IP address. This layer of security is vital for protecting sensitive data and resources, as it prevents direct attacks on backend infrastructure. Reverse proxies also allow administrators to implement security controls like firewalls and rate-limiting, which help to block malicious traffic, reduce exposure to vulnerabilities, and enhance overall system efficiency. By utilizing reverse proxies, organizations can secure their online presence while safeguarding critical backend infrastructure.
