Digital sovereignty
Application delivery and security that adapts to sovereignty requirements without adding complexity
Application delivery and security that adapts to sovereignty requirements without adding complexity
Sovereignty requirements are exposing single cloud provider dependency and operational risks that grow as organizations scale across environments. When workloads migrate to reduce risk, fragmented policy enforcement and inconsistent architectures introduce security gaps. Managing these risks requires infrastructure built for digital resilience with consistent application delivery and security across deployment models.
Sovereignty, privacy, and resilience mandates continue to change, requiring architectures that can adapt without disruption
Dependence on a single cloud provider increases exposure to geopolitical pressure and provider outages
Disconnected tools and control planes create policy drift, compliance and security blind spots, increasing costs and risk
Inconsistent architectures make it difficult to move workloads and policies across environments as sovereignty regulations evolve
Some workloads are governed by strict data residency laws, while others demand operational independence or full isolation. The challenge is meeting those requirements without fragmenting operations.
The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) helps organizations apply the right level of sovereignty to each application while keeping delivery, security and operations consistent across environments.
USE CASES
Meet resilience mandates such as DORA and NIS2 with automated failover across sovereign environments keeping applications always available.
Deliver and secure mission‑critical applications and AI in fully isolated environments without external service dependencies.
Relocate workloads across environments to meet sovereignty requirements, while preserving consistent delivery and security posture.
Enforce data boundaries, ensuring residency controls are consistent and auditable across on-premises, cloud, and sovereign cloud environments.
Build shared AI infrastructure and provide sovereign AI services with strict tenant isolation and policy control.
To sustain digital sovereignty, organizations need architectures that deliver demonstrable control while preserving the ability to adapt or migrate workloads as conditions change. Organizations must be able to meet new regulations, maintain jurisdictional control over data access, mitigate outage risks, and maintain auditability – without fragmenting application delivery and security across environments and deployment models.
Apply uniform security, traffic, and policy enforcement across on‑premises, cloud, sovereign, and air‑gapped environments
Limit exposure to cloud provider outages and preserve access, continuity, and availability
Provide verifiable visibility, logging, governance, and policy control across data, metadata, and operations
Maintain consistent operating models across applications with diverse sovereignty needs
F5 ADSP converges hardware, software, and SaaS services so organizations can apply customized sovereignty controls to different applications. With consistent traffic management, security, and analytics on a single platform, organizations gain the flexibility to adapt or move workloads to meet evolving sovereignty requirements, while maintaining operational continuity – without re-architecting application services.
Apply the appropriate level of control to each application – from data residency to fully air‑gapped deployments on one platform
Operate application delivery and security consistently across hardware, software form factors
Support fully isolated environments with no “kill switch” for critical workloads
Move security, traffic, and governance policies across environments as regulatory or geopolitical conditions change
