Web Application and API Protection Solutions

Digital risk and complexity are unprecedented, but you don’t have to choose between security and speed. F5 can help.

Get App Security Without Compromise

Attackers follow the money. In a digital economy, this means targeting web apps and APIs to exploit vulnerabilities, abuse business logic, and bypass access controls—leading to data breach, account takeover, and downtime that can devastate your business. In order to effectively mitigate these attacks, you need comprehensive, consistent security that protects your entire digital business—from code to runtime.

F5 solutions run anywhere and protect apps and APIs everywhere—in the data center, across clouds, at the edge, behind your mobile apps, within your third-party integrations—continuously defending the digital endpoints that drive business, so that your customers can deliver great experiences every time.

Mitigate Bots and Abuse

Just as enterprises embrace automation to gain process efficiencies, attackers leverage bots and automation to scale their attacks, bypass security countermeasures, and take over customer accounts.

F5 solutions employ durable telemetry, actionable insights, and human-powered AI to maintain the industry’s highest efficacy with countermeasures that constantly adapt to attacker retooling —ensuring resilience and customer success.

Protect Against DDoS Attacks

Denial-of-service is not a solved problem. Threat actors do not discriminate—DDoS campaigns impact all geographies and industries—with frequency of incidents, average peak bandwidth, and complexity of attacks all on the rise. The common goal of these attacks is to disrupt performance and availability, but the attacks themselves vary. F5 solutions connect into any architecture to combat blended, multi-vector DoS and DDoS attacks in the deployment model that makes sense for your business.
