F5 Academy Roadshow

Unlock the Power of AI Data Delivery and Runtime Security

Register now



If AI is on your 2026 priorities list, this is the stop you don’t want to miss.

Modern AI doesn’t fail because the model is “bad.” It fails because data delivery chokes, runtime risk explodes, and teams don’t have a clean, enforceable way to scale securely.

At F5 Academy: AI Data Delivery + Runtime Security Roadshow, you’ll get practical, technical experience - guided labs, real architectures, and direct access to F5 experts - so you leave with a clearer path from roadmap → production reality.


What You’ll Learn

We’ve designed this event to tackle the most pressing AI scalability + security challenges with two focused tracks:

Optimize AI Data Pipelines with F5 BIG-IP for S3-Compatible Storage

AI performance lives and dies by data delivery speed + reliability.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Improve throughput and reduce bottlenecks with advanced load balancing strategies (least connections, round robin, etc.)
  • Keep pipelines resilient using health checks, write-quorum monitoring, and intelligent failover patterns
  • Apply traffic intelligence with programmable policies and metadata-based routing to strengthen governance and reduce risk in modern storage environments

Secure AI Deployments with F5 AI Guardrails & AI Red Team

AI applications need more than “it works in dev.” They need confidence in production.

You’ll explore how to:

  • Protect AI-powered applications at runtime: enforce policies like PII redaction, detect harmful intent, and reduce risk from prompt injection and jailbreak attempts.
  • Work through hands-on security flows: compare inline and out-of-band approaches for a chatbot you’ll build during the workshop.
  • Test adversarially before attackers do: use F5 AI Red Team capabilities to uncover weaknesses through attack libraries, agentic resistance campaigns, and operational stress tests.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • Practical patterns you can apply to secure AI apps in production
  • A clearer blueprint for high-performance, resilient S3 data delivery
  • A better way to communicate AI risk and reliability to stakeholders (without doom spiraling)
  • New peer connections - and the kind of hallway conversations that don’t happen on Zoom

Why You Should Attend

  • Hands-on labs led by experts: guided, practical exercises with take-back value
  • Q&A with F5 engineers: get answers to the hard questions (and the “be honest - does this actually work?” ones)
  • Networking over lunch: meet people solving the same problems in real environments
  • Exclusive knowledge: early exposure to next-gen AI data delivery + runtime security approaches with actionable use cases
