Trained on data derived from the global footprint of F5's network and security expertise, the AI Assistant helps simplify application monitoring and security, rapidly manage complex tasks, and maintain robust security postures. F5's AI Assistant was created to assist customers in managing rapidly increasing numbers of applications and APIs, giving them the capabilities required for today's highly dynamic multi-cloud environments. According to F5’s "2024 State of Application Strategy Report", adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud continues to rise, with 88% of organizations now managing applications within these environments. Additionally, the number of organizations using multiple clouds has increased compared to previous surveys, underscoring new complexities.

Network and security teams increasingly require advanced tools capable of providing deeper visibility and rapid responses. Our AI Assistant is built to meet exactly these needs."
"The AI Assistant can operate effectively in areas beyond human reach, enabling rapid responses based on data-driven insights and delivering recommended actions to protect against emerging threats."
Main capabilities of the AI Assistant include:
Monitoring site health and visibility across multi-cloud environments.
Providing sophisticated and instant security event summaries on-demand, prioritizing based on attack types and risk, and delivering decisive insights based on detailed data.
Rapid identification of security threats, allowing quick implementation of mitigation strategies such as exclusion rules or blocks against malicious addresses.
Automating ongoing security and network tasks to reduce manual effort.
Implementing a natural language interface powered by F5 AI Data Fabric.
