F5 is pleased to announce that we’ve been named a finalist in three categories of the 2024 SC Awards. Celebrating its 27th year, the SC Awards recognize the solutions, organizations, and individuals that have demonstrated exceptional achievement in advancing information security.
“The finalists for the 2024 SC Awards truly represent the forefront of cybersecurity innovation and leadership,” said Tom Spring, Editorial Director at SC Media. “These solutions, organizations, and professionals have demonstrated outstanding capabilities in addressing today’s complex and ever-changing threat landscape. We are proud to recognize their contributions to the cybersecurity community.”
This year F5 is a finalist for:
Best Authentication Technology: F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
BIG-IP APM is a leading zero trust application access and remote access solution that simplifies and centralizes modern access controls across every application and API in your portfolio. BIG-IP APM provides identity- and context-aware per-request app access, authentication protocol translation for legacy and custom apps, and a single point for secure application access control. It also provides identity aware proxy (IAP) capabilities, integrating with leading identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) providers, identity provider (IdP) support for SAML and OAuth/OIDC, and secure authentication to APIs.
Best API Security Solution: F5 Distributed Cloud API Security
Distributed Cloud API Security provides a unified approach to securing APIs from a variety of threats. It combines a range of security features, such as web application firewall (WAF), bot protection, and threat intelligence, for modern apps that are often distributed across multiple cloud environments. In addition, it secures APIs with continuous API discovery, consistent monitoring, governance, and API protection capabilities to control API behavior, block and limit sensitive data exposure, along with other functionality.
Best Continuous Threat Exposure Management Solution: F5 Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning
Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning revolutionizes your organization’s security strategies by dynamically and continuously scanning your external attack surfaces. It uncovers public source repositories, servers, APIs, and more, providing a comprehensive view of exposed assets. Once vulnerabilities are identified, users can conduct automated penetration tests on web apps and APIs, complete with remediation guidance using artificial intelligence (AI) and other solutions such as F5 Distributed Cloud Web Application and API Protection (WAAP).
Winners Announced in September
The winners of the 2024 SC Awards will be announced by SC Media on Tuesday, September 17.
F5 is thrilled to be distinguished as a finalist in three categories this year. This recognition underscores F5’s unwavering commitment to delivering innovative and comprehensive security solutions tailored to meet the dynamic demands of today’s complex app landscape and dedication to advancing cybersecurity excellence.
