Network Protocol Security Solutions
Secure your network--not just your applications--from protocol threats
Your applications depend on networking protocols to transmit data, and many of today's security issues are directly related to the improper use of these protocols. Securing your applications with traditional network firewalls and even web-application firewalls is critical, but it isn't enough. The gap between these measures simply increases the load on web-application firewalls at best--at worst, it leaves your organization open to attack.
F5 provides a full-featured, completely integrated application firewall, designed to protect your web applications, along with a solution that targets security requirements for networking protocols, such as HTTP, FTP, and SMTP. These solutions can greatly increase your security posture without increasing overhead in terms of management or performance.
Why do I need network protocol security?
Business benefits of using F5 for network protocol security include:
- Simplified application-layer security.
F5 helps you streamline security at the application layer while maintaining network speeds. - Cost-effective application-layer security.
Our solutions let you add application protocol security and application delivery in the same step. - An integrated, single platform solution.
You can deploy and manage one device for all your application delivery and security needs, rather than deploying multiple boxes that need to be managed independently. - Total security coverage.
F5 offers deep security for application data as well as application protocols, including HTTP, FTP, and SMTP.
