GET THE REPORT
Public-sector AI often remains in the trial stage not because the models aren’t good enough, but because the underlying security and networks can’t safely support always-on, cross-agency AI. Government systems handle sensitive data and rely on mixed legacy/cloud setups, so they need zero-trust security (continuous verification), real-time monitoring, and strong network performance. Without that foundation, agencies limit automation or deployment; platforms like F5 aim to combine delivery, API, and AI security.
Security as the foundation
Public-sector AI success depends more on secure infrastructure than on better models or more compute.
Zero Trust for Autonomous AI
Continuous verification and inline policy enforcement are required for always-on, cross-agency/agentic systems.
Performance as Mission Risk
Network performance and app delivery keep AI reliable, scalable, and auditable as encrypted east west and API traffic grows.
