Access Management
Decrease the complexity of corporate application access and protect your apps and users from attacks.
Why Zero Trust Application Access Matters
Applications can be located anywhere and accessed from everywhere. In a zero trust architecture, it’s imperative that app access is secure, regardless of where the app or user is located.

Implementing Zero Trust
Secure access proxy
As users become more mobile and apps are hosted in numerous data centers and clouds, the traditional network perimeter is fading away and tough to defend. Try a different approach by streamlining and protecting authentication and managing access to apps via a centralized access proxy that moves the perimeter to your apps, users, and devices.
BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
Available as software or an appliance that lets you create identity-aware, context-based policies.
Extend Access Management through Azure AD
F5 and Azure AD integration
Through native integration, F5 and Microsoft Azure Active Directory provide simple, secure, and context-aware application access for all applications in a single-pane-of-glass view, regardless of where the app resides. This enhances user experience and productivity while also reducing access management overhead.

SECURE VDI
Secure and scale your VDI infrastructure
As your virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution grows, security and performance can become harder to manage. F5’s solutions can reduce the complexity of your network design via infrastructure consolidation, processing of millions of concurrent sessions, and enabling a centralized gateway for authentication and access. This not only makes your VDI more secure but also eases the management burden with granular access policies.

API Security and Authorization
Secure API access
Modern app architectures need to scale up and down as quickly and efficiently as possible, depending on business needs. That means automation is important. Automation requires APIs on every interface, making it difficult to ensure consistent access policies. Implement authorization controls as your first line of defense. The F5 API authorization solution natively supports this need with OAuth/JWT.

Single Sign-On
Customize user experience with single sign-on (SSO)
With so many applications, users can’t be expected to remember complex, unique passwords for each one. Through federation of SaaS and other cloud-based apps and the ability to serve as an identity provider for on-premises legacy apps, F5 has the only solution that can give users a single pane of glass for all applications via the same portal. At the same time, you can enhance security with the adaptive MFA capabilities of our SSO solution.

SSL VPN
Enable trusted remote access
The F5 VPN solution provides end-to-end TLS encryption for client to network or application connections, and IPSEC tunnels between datacenters. The visual policy editor lets you easily create customizable policies that allow for granular customization in authentication options and access management to individual apps, networks, or other resources. You can also inspect several indicators of client or endpoint health that can also factor into access policy decisions. The unique flexibility of this solution makes it much more than a simple VPN.
