Secure and deliver sovereign AI

As government agencies scale AI adoption, F5 ensures security and delivery with sovereignty controls at the application layer

Runtime security and data delivery for government AI systems

Government AI systems span citizen services, defense, and intelligence, often crossing classified and unclassified environments. F5 ADSP optimizes AI data delivery, provides runtime security for AI models and agents, and protects inference APIs across on-premises, sovereign cloud, and air-gapped deployments.

Safeguard mission data and AI integrity

Protect AI workloads and data pipelines from prompt injection, jailbreaks, and sensitive data leakage and gain visibility into AI decisions while continuously strengthening security posture through adversarial testing as guided by NIST AI RMF.

Digital sovereignty

Enforce auditable sovereignty controls at the application layer with post-quantum cryptography, data residency, and local telemetry.

Operational resilience

Run AI workloads on-premises, in sovereign cloud, or fully air-gapped with no external kill switch option and maintain consistent policy across environments.
