Healthcare
Healthcare is facing an unprecedented digital revolution. As organizations aim to simplify and secure systems, F5 delivers a platform that ensures app availability and compliance while proactively protecting private data to meet patient and provider needs in the new era of AI.
Modernizing healthcare: Security, resilience, and AI
Overview
Clinical, research, pharmaceutical and other healthcare partners need secure, uninterrupted access to life-saving applications and APIs without compromising performance, data, compliance, or care. The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) ensures continuous access and availability, simplifies the security of critical workloads, confirms compliance with global data-sharing requirements, and delivers automated defenses for AI infrastructure and bot-driven threats across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Simplifying healthcare IT
Reduce operational overhead by up to 35% while guaranteeing application and data availability through a unified security and delivery platform.
Safeguarding interoperability
Ensure and secure globally compliant API adoption across fragmented systems while exposing and blocking shadow API attacks.
Safer AI adoption at scale
Enable safer AI operations from the research lab across to the point of care.
Data residency and sovereignty
Enforce data residency requirements to comply with government and internal regulations.

Resilient, secure, and visible healthcare IT
Resilient, secure, and visible healthcare IT
F5 acts as the digital immune system for your healthcare IT, uniting advanced security, high-performance application delivery, and unified monitoring across hybrid, multicloud IT environments. This secures your hybrid infrastructure without requiring costly re-architecture. F5 can reduce renewal licensing costs by 20% to 30% and operational overhead by up to 35%.
Load Balancing
Manages local clinical application traffic with high-performance load balancing, SSL/TLS offloading, and continuous application health verification.
DNS
Orchestrates global traffic across multiple active-active clinical datacenters, providing seamless geo-redundant failover to keep EHRs online.
Hybrid Multi-Cloud Networking
Delivers high-speed, secure, and resilient L3-L7 cloud-to-cloud and edge-to-cloud connectivity to eliminate single points of failure.
Bot Management and Security
Uses real-time telemetry and AI to identify and block automated bot logins, and prevent credential stuffing or account takeovers on patient and clinician portals.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Protects core clinical applications from OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, database injections, and protocol violations through behavioral analysis and dynamic payload encryption.
API Security
Better understand your API threat landscape, detect vulnerabilities, and implement critical protections across all APIs, the services they enable, and the systems and data they access.
Unified management and automation
Streamline and enhance BIG-IP and NGINX administration at scale with central management, observability, and automation.
Secure, complaint HL7 & FHIR APIs
Secure, complaint HL7 & FHIR APIs
Driven by mandates like the U.S. 21st Century Cures Act, healthcare systems are required to open legacy Electronic Health Records (EHR) to standardized FHIR and HL7 APIs. However, rapid API deployments can leave unauthenticated endpoints, shadow APIs, and Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) flaws, exposing sensitive patient data. F5 helps global healthcare organizations safely bridge the gap between regulatory compliance and cybersecurity.

Secure and scale healthcare AI adoption
Secure and scale healthcare AI adoption
AI is dramatically accelerating medical innovation in healthcare, from Ambient Clinical Intelligence (ACI) to predictive diagnostics. However, scaling diverse models introduces critical bottlenecks and severe security risks such as IP and PHI leakage into public models and prompt-injection attacks. F5 delivers the dual foundation of high-performance optimization and robust security required to scale healthcare AI.
Guardrails
Define and deploy agile data security, threat management, and governance for AI models, apps, and agents protecting ePHI and clinical data from AI threats and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Red Team
Find AI vulnerabilities and compliance gaps before attackers do with continuous, real-world adversarial testing.
