Defending every application in a multi-cloud world

ENSURING THE WORLD’S APPS OPERATE EFFECTIVELY AND SECURELY, END-TO-END

Why did F5 acquire Shape?

Shape invented the field of credential stuffing protection, an attack where cybercriminals use stolen passwords from third-party data breaches to take over other online accounts. In 2018, the company was ranked by Deloitte as the #1 fastest-growing company by revenue in Silicon Valley, and it currently protects the largest banks, airlines, retailers, and federal agencies in the world. In addition to credential stuffing attacks, its fraud and abuse prevention platform defends against other advanced attacks that bypass security and fraud controls.
