Many organizations need to offer application access to external users, whether they are remote users working from home or trading partners, vendors, mobile workers, or customers. Unfortunately, controlling individual user access to specific applications can be complex and costly. The organization can quickly become vulnerable to security breaches, virus outbreaks, and theft of sensitive data over public networks.
If your organization plans to extend the reach of applications, apply SSL encryption throughout the network, or outsource development, services, or application, you may have a more urgent need to address security performance and access control. Most businesses, though, can benefit from universal security enforcement and better access control.
F5 is the only vendor that offers a comprehensive approach to access control, regardless of end user, client type, application, access network, or network resources. We also integrate access control with your application delivery architecture to simplify management and reduce costs.
