The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) delivers comprehensive security for internal and external applications. Enterprise application deployments are embracing generative AI to transform digital business initiatives. F5 offers an expansive platform of application security services that can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud or consumed as-a-service.
Mitigate risk and improve digital resiliency by continuously defending critical business logic supporting apps and APIs.
Simplify operations to reduce tool sprawl and complexity by providing end-to-end observability and consistent enforcement for apps anywhere.
Grow with confidence and align security with digital strategy initiatives, removing the burden of manual processes and remediation.
Secure APIs across complex hybrid and multicloud fabric environments —reducing risk and complexity while improving operational efficiencies.

Critical vulnerabilities emerge every 9 hours, and attackers quickly exploit them. F5 can assist in safeguarding your applications against severe risks like zero-day vulnerabilities and threats from the OWASP Top 10. F5 solutions secure apps and APIs with comprehensive controls and consistent oversight—providing virtual patching for risks found through penetration testing and simplifying security policy management across hybrid and multicloud environments.
Protect applications and APIs from bots and malicious automation while maintaining engagement important for business operations. As organizations adopt automation to improve processes, attackers also use bots and automation to increase the scale of their attacks, bypass security measures, and gain unauthorized access to customer accounts. F5 solutions use durable telemetry, actionable insights, and AI powered by human input to provide effective countermeasures that adapt to changes in attacker methods, ensuring system resilience and customer satisfaction.
APIs are fundamental to contemporary applications, enabling organizations to swiftly incorporate new functionalities into their digital experiences. By 2031, it is anticipated that over 1 billion APIs will be in use, necessitating a comprehensive approach to secure these APIs from end-to-end. F5 solutions offer universal visibility, dynamically discovering and safeguarding API endpoints while optimizing operations utilizing AIOps—from code development through testing and into runtime.
Denial-of-service remains an unsolved issue. DDoS attacks affect all regions and sectors, with increasing frequency, peak bandwidth, and attack complexity. These attacks aim to disrupt performance and availability but differ in method. F5 solutions integrate into any architecture to counter blended, multi-vector DoS and DDoS attacks in a suitable deployment model for your business.
The F5 platform scans your external attack surface to uncover exposed web apps and APIs. It uses automated penetration testing to crawl, test and identify vulnerabilities. This service helps organizations secure their web applications and APIs, ensuring compliance and enhancing security.

F5 research shows that AI will further drive API proliferation as AI engines will be located both in the public cloud and on-premises and AI apps are connected via APIs.
