Reverse proxy in Log360 MSSP

Overview

A reverse proxy is a proxy service that handles requests from customers, forwards them to the necessary servers, and subsequently delivers the servers' responses to the customers without revealing the identity of the servers. Log360 MSSP comes bundled with a reverse proxy server to prevent hackers from finding out, accessing, or exploiting the critical data that it holds.

Whenever a user requests access, the URL is forwarded to the respective servers based on the customers' context path in the URL. The end user will not know the details of the servers from which they are accessing the resources.
