AI powered defense to stop banking fraud and bot abuse

Secure cross-channel APIs, block sophisticated exploits, and defend customer trust with F5 ADSP.

Safeguard data and customer trust

As financial institutions rapidly adopt AI and accelerate FinTech app development, the threat landscape is expanding. Frontier AI-driven attacks, shadow APIs, and post-quantum risks bypass traditional security. F5’s Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) delivers converged, AI-powered app and API security across hybrid multicloud environments to secure data, preserve trust, and maintain seamless compliance.

Stop automated fraud and account takeovers (ATO)

Converge real-time behavioral telemetry to block AI-powered botnets targeting your banking portals at machine speed. Protect customer sessions from credential stuffing, defend client-side scripts to meet strict PCI DSS v4.0 mandates, and preserve brand reputation without introducing login friction.

Govern and secure open banking APIs

Automatically discover and classify all your APIs, including undocumented shadow endpoints created during rapid FinTech development. Enforce strict runtime schema validation to prevent banking data exfiltration and ensure secure third-party integrations.

Discover and secure financial AI

Apply real-time guardrails at the inference layer to inspect prompts and block NPI leakage to comply with GLBA and FTC Safeguards. Protect your customer-facing financial AI models from adversarial manipulation, ensuring your generative AI innovation remains compliant, secure, and defensible.

Ensure hybrid multicloud cyber resilience

Unify security policies across your scattered financial workloads—from legacy core banking systems to the cloud edge. Eliminate security gaps, simplify complex regulatory compliance under DORA, and prepare your transaction encryption for post-quantum cryptographic mandates.
