Comprehensive WAF Protection for Apps and APIs Everywhere

F5 provides the most comprehensive, flexible market leading WAFs, supporting any deployment model and form factor for any app and API security requirement. F5 WAFs secure applications and APIs no matter where they are – the edge, the cloud, data centers, containers, or all the above. And regardless of what type of app – legacy and monolithic, cloud-native, containerized, or hybrid. Secure your applications and APIs with F5’s industry-leading web application firewalls.

Ways to Deploy Your F5 WAF

WAFs may be deployed several different ways, depending on several factors, including wherever your applications are deployed, what services you require, how you would like to manage it, and how much architectural flexibility and performance you require. Do you want to self-manage the WAF, or do you want a managed service? Does a cloud-based, on-premises, or virtual appliance model best suit your needs? Are you protecting traditional monolithic apps, containerized apps, or both? Do you have staff to manage and maintain your WAF? Answers to these questions will help determine what WAF and deployment model is the best fit for your application security demands.
