APIs are a fundamental building block of modern application development. Understanding the challenges and potential risks of APIs is critical to safeguarding your edge. Sometimes security is not included in the design of the APIs themselves, or they are misconfigured and lack security controls against common attacks. Since APIs are designed for machine-to-machine data exchange, many APIs represent a direct access route to sensitive data. F5 has a comprehensive and flexible solution to securely manage APIs from the core data center to the edge of your network. Security controls are addressed based on the security requirements of the data and API delivery platform.
The NGINX Controller API Management Module combines the efficiency of NGINX Plus as an API gateway with control-plan ability.
NGINX delivers web application firewall (WAF) functionality in the small footprint of NGINX Plus to protect apps against sophisticated threats.
Ensure your microservice-based applications are compliant and secure with Aspen Mesh.
F5 WAF on BIG-IP technology provides Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 protection, proactive bot defense, and app-layer encryption.
Applications are some of your organization’s most valuable assets. They are the gateways to your data—and your customers’ data. Attackers know this better than anyone. F5 integrates and automates app security. With varied forms of attack and software vulnerabilities, organizations need to be able to protect all types of applications, from traditional and legacy apps that are still essential to many critical business functions to new ones that take advantage of modern development techniques and resources delivered as a service. F5 offers a range of next-generation application security capabilities, integrated into multiple different insertion points, depending on the types of app deployment and level of customer management you require.
Learn how to protect apps, APIs, and strategic business outcomes while adding new velocities to app development.
Maximize security by delivering modern apps with unparalleled performance, built-in app security, and intelligent traffic management.
Whether for consumer or industrial IoT, security is the biggest challenge extending to safety and legal implications. F5 plays a critical role in ensuring that security, reliability, and safety are preserved by recognizing the need to provide network-centric security, focusing on end-to-end protection of IoT devices. F5 IoT Firewall goes beyond the capabilities of traditional network firewalls because it is specific to the IoT domain. It can provide device-aware, application-centric policies to prevent threats from the IoT devices that would otherwise disrupt the integrity and availability of the service provider’s network.
BIG-IP PEM provides policy enforcement with subscriber-aware application detection.
BIG-IP AFM is a consolidated security platform that offers a firewall, DDoS mitigation, CGNAT, DNS security, and more.
F5 offers a N6 LAN consolidation solution to help service providers overcome key challenges in edge deployments. Containerization, consolidation, and automation makes service orchestration easier, enabling service providers to take advantage of opportunities such as per-subscriber policy enforcement to better secure their network. The F5 solution integrates the widest range of services—from CGNAT and DDoS protection to TCP and video optimization—into a single solution with a unified framework that simplifies service management. With consolidated and containerized N6 LAN from F5, you can optimize, secure, and monetize your network.
Consolidate and offload LDNS with DNS caching and resolving, DNS DDoS mitigation, malicious IP booking, and more.
Machine learning for video traffic management with signature detection and granular policy control.
Protect your network with a consolidated security platform including firewall, DDoS mitigation, CGNAT, and DNS security.
Combine CGNAT and other functions for a secure, subscriber-aware network firewall that masks subscriber addresses.
Service providers are partnering with hyperscalers to build an edge solution that will appeal to enterprise organizations. Each will have a different architecture, deployment plan, and timeline, but all must ensure that security is factored into each element of the network. Protecting your edge platform is fundamental to ensure that valuable customer data is secure. Security controls need to be applied at multiple points in the network and across multiple layers. Enabling packet capture and the ability to implement security at container ingress is critical to ensuring that bad traffic stays out of a service provider’s network. F5 helps ensure customer Quality of Experience (QoE) by providing encryption and offering security based on Software as a Service (SaaS) with system-wide security consolidation and protection for app clusters at the edge.
