Navigating the New Era of Application Delivery and Security
The ways we deliver and secure every app and API have dramatically changed over the last couple of decades. Organizations in every industry have been on a digital journey: from monolithic apps to microservices and AI apps; from data centers to hybrid, multicloud application deployments; from singular attacks and attackers to malicious cybercriminal multinationals, state-sponsored attacks, and AI-powered cybercrime.
To help facilitate their digital journey, organizations have acquired and licensed an array of products and services to ease this digital transformation. But this journey has led to increased operational complexity from disparate point-product proliferation, contributing to higher costs and increasing security gaps.
Unfortunately, traditional tools and siloed strategies can no longer address the ways apps, infrastructure, and cyber threats have evolved. Many enterprises are trying to address the associated risk and complexity by attempting to consolidate some delivery and security functions, yet the ultimate barrier to achieving the goals of their digital journey is a continued lack of true convergence.
Leading industry analysts are noting a pivotal shift in how we address this new era of apps, infrastructure, and security. They see a need for a unified platform approach that integrates application delivery and security capabilities. This platform should leverage AI and be deployable across virtually any environment. It should also deliver the convergence necessary to simplify operations, drive down costs, and close glaring security gaps.
Why the convergence of app delivery and security matters
At F5, we recognize the necessity for a platform approach. And now, we are delivering the most comprehensive application delivery and security platform for today’s hybrid, multicloud, and AI-driven era with the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP).
F5 ADSP marks a pivotal moment for technology and security leaders everywhere. It’s not just about embracing a new platform, but also about preparing for the next wave of digital transformation. With a platform approach to app delivery and security, leaders can build secure, high-performing application ecosystems that adapt and scale as their business needs change and successfully respond to the ever-changing nature of cyber threats (e.g. AI-powered attacks).
