With NIS2 and DORA now in effect, EU organizations face a fundamental shift in how they approach security. Compliance is a standard built into every layer of your environment, from your hardware and OS to your software configuration. HAProxy alone doesn't make an organization compliant, yet it serves as a critical technical component of a strong security strategy.

The average cost of a security breach reached nearly $4.4 million in 2025, according to the publication Cost of Data Breach Report. To proactively address this substantial financial and security risk, Infobip, a global cloud communications platform, used HAProxy Enterprise to implement a security and uptime framework that is both highly modular and highly performant.

The Ingress NGINX project is winding down. For many organizations, this means planning a migration for critical infrastructure. While the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller is the natural successor for these workloads, a "rip and replace" strategy isn’t always viable. You might have complex configurations, customized annotations, or deployment freezes that make a sudden switch risky. There's a lower-risk path: Place HAProxy in front of your existing Ingress NGINX deployment.

An in-depth look at the recent audit by Almond ITSEF, validating HAProxy’s architectural resilience and defining the shared responsibility of secure configuration. Trust is the currency of the modern web. When you are the engine behind the world’s most demanding applications, "trust" isn't a marketing slogan—it’s an engineering requirement.

History is everywhere at Dartmouth College, and while the campus is steeped in tradition, its IT infrastructure can’t afford to get stuck in the past. In an institution where world-class research and undergraduate studies intersect, technology must be fast, invisible, and – above all – reliable. That reliability was put to the test when Dartmouth’s load balancing vendor was acquired twice in five years, as Avi Networks moved to VMware and VMware moved to Broadcom.

OpenClaw (née MoltBot, née ClawdBot) is taking over the world. Everyone is spinning their own, either on a VPS, or their own Mac mini. But here's the problem: OpenClaw is brand new, and its security posture is mostly unknown. Security researchers have already found thousands of publicly available instances exposing everything from credentials to private messages.

The hardest part of modern infrastructure isn’t choosing your deployment environments — it’s bridging communication between them. Large enterprises are constantly facing the challenge of keeping everything connected, secure, and fast when their infrastructures are spread across different clouds and on-premises systems.

We’re excited to announce the simultaneous releases of HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller 3.2 and HAProxy Enterprise Kubernetes Ingress Controller 3.2! All new features described here apply to both products. These releases introduce user-defined annotations, a new frontend CRD, and other minor improvements, and we’ll cover these in detail below.
