Digital Operational Resilience
Service availability, cyber resilience, and incident recovery for always-on financial services across hybrid multicloud
Operational resilience for financial services
Digital sovereignty requirements and regulations such as DORA, NYDFS 500, and APRA CPS 230 have raised the bar for operational resilience, requiring financial institutions to continuously demonstrate service availability, cyber resilience, and rapid incident recovery. F5’s Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) delivers defense-in-depth security across hybrid and multicloud workloads, supports digital sovereignty requirements, and reduces concentration risk.
Minimized revenue impact from downtime
Keep payments, core banking, and digital channels available during cloud outages and infrastructure failures with active-active architectures, intelligent traffic steering, and automated failover across datacenters, regions, and clouds
Reduced concentration risk
F5 ADSP enables hybrid and multicloud architectures that eliminate single-provider dependency, keeping critical banking and financial services infrastructure available when any one provider fails
Resilient security
AI powered security controls that adapt to evolving cyber-threat, unified visibility and logging reduce mean time to recover and support incident reporting requirements.
Regulatory compliance
Regulations such as DORA, NYDFS 500, and APRA CPS 230 require financial institutions to provide evidence of operational resilience. F5 ADSP provides the control plane and audit trail that simplifies DORA compliance and regulatory reporting.
F5 ADSP delivers digital operational resilience
Keep critical financial services available and secure
F5 ADSP delivers and secures critical financial services applications across on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud, eliminating concentration risk and enabling continuous resilience.

How F5 Helps
Service availability and recovery
High availability for critical financial services
Active-active architectures with intelligent traffic steering and automated failover across hybrid multicloud environments keep payments, core banking, and digital channels available during disruptions.
Global server load balancing
Ensure financial services remain reachable during regional outages
Intelligent traffic management
Optimize traffic distribution to maintain availability of critical financial services applications
Hybrid multicloud networking
Securely connect applications and services across multiple clouds, on-premises, and edge sites
Threat protection and prevention
Stop threats without compromising service availability
Volumetric attacks, application vulnerabilities, and API abuse threaten operational resilience. Protect and prevent threats to financial services infrastructure with layered security controls and post-quantum cryptography readiness.
DDoS protection
Defend against volumetric attacks before they impact financial services availability
WAF
Protect financial services applications and APIs from OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and layer 7 exploits
API Security
Centralize encrypted traffic management with quantum-safe encryption across financial services infrastructure
SSL / TLS orchestration
Centralize encrypted traffic management with quantum-safe encryption across financial services infrastructure
Bot defense
Stop automated attacks targeting banking applications, login portals, and customer-facing services
AI Guardrails
Enforce runtime protection for AI models and agents against OWASP Top 10 LLM vulnerabilities
Resilience testing
Validate resilience across applications, AI models, and failover scenarios.
Regulations require financial institutions to continuously test critical infrastructure and processes to demonstrate resilience and recovery. F5 enables continuous scanning, adversarial AI testing, and automated failover validation across hybrid multicloud environments.
Web app scanning
Continuously scan FinServ applications and APIs for vulnerabilities
AI red teaming
Simulate and test adversarial attacks including prompt injection and model manipulation
Automation
Automate failover and test resilience validation across hybrid multicloud environments
Synthetic Monitoring
Monitor response time by region in real time identifying outages & availability issues before customers experience them
Monitoring and incident response
Detect, respond, and recover faster across hybrid multicloud
Siloed monitoring and manual processes slow incident detection, creating regulatory exposure. Unified visibility, AI-driven remediation, and comprehensive logging reduce mean time to recover and support incident reporting obligations.
Unified Management and Automation
Manage policies across hybrid and multicloud environments from a single control plane.
F5 Insight for ADSP
Real-time telemetry and observability across financial services applications and infrastructure.
AI remediate
Automatically convert red team adversarial findings into validated AI runtime guardrails.
Ecosystem integrations
F5 works with many of the world's leading technology companies to improve manageability, strengthen security, and ensure the operational resilience of critical financial services infrastructure.
