Network security solutions

Reduce risk and complexity with comprehensive protection for apps and APIs anywhere.

Unify network security

The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) delivers high-performance network security in a full-proxy architecture, combining firewalling, DDoS protection, DNS security, and intrusion prevention (IPS) with quantum-resilience. Unifying network security protects not just the network, but applications and sensitive data—defending against advanced attacks and costly breaches.

Protect data in transit with strong encryption

Enforce strong encryption and real-time controls to protect sensitive data in transit across networks and applications.

Zero trust and least privilege

Reduce risk and prevent unauthorized access with identity- and context-aware zero trust access and least-privilege controls.

Ensure secure, scalable app availability

Ensure network and application availability, security, and scale with resilient, high-performance traffic protection.

Ensure resilience against DDoS

Mitigate multi-vector attacks that disrupt application services, protecting uptime and performance across distributed environments.

Network firewalling

Network firewalling

Modern networks and data centers face constant threats—from volumetric DDoS attacks to sophisticated intrusion attempts. High-performance protection is essential to keep applications online and data secure.

By combining advanced intrusion prevention (IPS), network security policies, and real-time DDoS mitigation, organizations can detect, block, and absorb attacks before they disrupt servers or services—ensuring resilient, secure, always-available digital operations.

Segmentation

Segmentation

As threats grow more sophisticated, flat networks increase risk. Network segmentation and microsegmentation protect applications and sensitive data by shrinking the attack surface and limiting lateral movement.

By isolating workloads and enforcing least-privilege and zero trust, organizations can restrict traffic to only authorized users and services.

The result is stronger security, contained breaches, and better protection for critical applications and data.

Infrastructure protection

Infrastructure protection

Protecting existing network, application, and data infrastructure is critical as threats evolve. Organizations must defend against unauthorized access and advanced attacks while ensuring their current technology and security stacks operate at peak performance.

By optimizing and strengthening what’s already in place—through improved visibility, policy enforcement, and performance tuning—teams can reduce risk, maximize efficiency, and extend the value of their infrastructure investments.

Access & VPN

Access & VPN

Modern security requires more than perimeter defenses. Organizations must ensure network, application, and data access is limited to authorized users through identity- and context-aware policies.

By enforcing zero trust access controls and strong encryption for data in transit and at rest, teams can prevent unauthorized access, reduce breach risk, and protect sensitive information from theft, misuse, and advanced cyberattacks.
