Financial services data is amongst the most sought-after types of data by cyberattackers. That’s why it’s more critical than ever to secure and safeguard your applications and the data within them, especially in the AI era. F5 AI-powered solutions guard against API and application exploits—no matter what environment they are in—and build security measures directly into your CI/CD pipeline.
WAFs were built for a different era — they only block traffic that actually passes through them, don’t discover every API or shadow endpoint and can’t stop attacks that abuse your business logic. Mix in rapid changes associated with AI, hybrid and multi‑cloud deployments and suddenly your visibility and enforcement are scattered across environments. Add emerging risks like ones associated with post‑quantum cryptography, and static rule sets just don’t keep pace. For banks, those gaps aren’t academic: they translate into fraud, customer account takeovers, regulatory fines, costly outages, and real damage to revenue and reputation.
Traditional security measures fall short for shadow AI threats, like data leakage, prompt injection in jail breaks in third-party LLMs.
WAFs only protect when in-line and do not discover and secure all APIs. WAF does not mitigate all risks to business logic.
Hybrid and multi-cloud environments introduce new complexities and risks for traditional security systems to consistently and comprehensively manage.
Protect AI applications, APIs, models and data with F5 AI Guardrails, AI Red Team, Distributed Cloud Services, NGINX and BIG-IP. Prevent data leakage and defend against evolving threats while ensuring full visibility and control over how AI models and applications interact across environments.
Securely manage APIs across any data center or cloud using a simple, fast, and scalable multi-cloud architecture.
How well you protect your apps can make all the difference. Get app protection in any architecture that stands up to a range of ever-evolving attack types.
Most malware and data exfiltration hides within SSL/TLS encryption. Decrypt and orchestrate to make your controls more effective.
Protect your website, mobile apps, and APIs from malicious bots while maintaining access for the good bots that help your business.
F5 provides seamless, flexible, and easy-to-deploy solutions that enable a fast response, no matter what type of DDoS attack you’re under.
