Secure Application Access
Protect against access-based attacks, while enhancing the user experience
Password login attacks are the most frequently attempted type of attack. The prevalence and success of phishing to steal credentials and billions of previously stolen credentials found on the dark web enable attackers to log in to applications undetected. The “Identity Aware Proxy” capability found in F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager secures, simplifies, and centralizes access to apps, APIs, and data, while enhancing the user experience via single sign-on. For hybrid environments, F5 enables common policies and secure federated access to native cloud and Software as a Service (SaaS) apps as well as on-premises classic and custom apps.
BIG-IP Access Policy Manager
Enhance security, usability, and scalability.
Shape Device ID
Strengthen your access control security through accurate device identification.
Protect Application Infrastructure
Defend the network infrastructure that supports your applications
SSL/TLS encryption is now standard. While that’s great for privacy, attackers can use that same encryption to hide malware and other malicious payloads to bypass security controls. F5 SSL Orchestrator is a dedicated solution for the orchestration of inbound and outbound encrypted traffic that stops encrypted traffic dangers from attacking your applications, data, and network. SSL Orchestrator eliminates security blind spots by exposing malware hiding in inbound encrypted traffic. It also halts exfiltration of stolen data in encrypted outbound traffic.
Guard Against App Vulnerabilities
Prevent exploitation of code-level and software library vulnerabilities
While secure access is a focal point of a zero trust security model, applications are assumed to be on untrusted networks that are potentially vulnerable to web application and API attacks. With this in mind, it’s important to protect against vulnerabilities such as injection attacks and cross-site scripting (XSS) . F5 delivers web application firewall (WAF) solutions that shield companies from threats identified in the OWASP Web App Top 10, API Top 10, and other security threats—and that fit well into any application architecture and software development lifecycle process.
F5 Advanced WAF
A hardware- or software-based WAF that enables fine-tuning of web app and API protection.
NGINX App Protect
A lightweight, software-based WAF designed to protect apps built on microservices.
Silverline WAF
A cloud-based managed service WAF to protect applications—complete with 24/7 expert security operations center coverage.
Ecosystem Integrations
How does the F5 solution integrate with the zero trust ecosystem?
A zero trust security model is not delivered through any one product or vendor, so it is critical that the components integrate to provide complete coverage. F5 partners with major Identity as a Service (IDaaS) providers to bridge identity and authentication gaps between native cloud, SaaS, and classic and custom apps that reside on-premises. This enables a unified, secure access experience for users of any application.
