It is the process of evaluating data to ensure it meets the necessary standards of accuracy, consistency, completeness, and reliability before it is used in business operations or analytics. This involves validating data against predefined rules and criteria, such as checking for duplicates, verifying data formats, ensuring data integrity across systems, and confirming that all required fields are populated.

Easily Remove Existing HAProxy Connections Made via Client Authentication

Sep 4, 2024 By Nathan Wehrman In HAProxy

Most load balancers only check a client certificate when the client first connects. However, this can be problematic if a client stays connected for an extended period of time. Staying connected would allow clients to continually send and receive data. Imagine you have an employee whose certificate and key were stolen by an adversary. If you are using TLS client authentication, that adversary can connect to your infrastructure and maintain illegal access.
