F5 enables zero-trust architectures that optimize your investments and extend zero-trust security across your entire portfolio.
In today’s world of hybrid, multicloud and AI applications, zero-trust is a must. App access control is key to any zero-trust architecture but so are the capabilities that secure and protect APIs, data, workloads, networks, users, and devices. The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) is the foundation for Zero Trust Architectures. F5 ADSP delivers visibility, enforcement, and intelligence where it matters most: the application layer.
F5 supports nearly any zero-trust architecture providing context-aware access, deep traffic inspection, API protection, and dynamic policy enforcement across legacy, modern, and AI applications.
Every app and API—no matter where its deployed—benefits from consistent, comprehensive delivery and security. Run security solutions as close to your apps and APIs as possible—on hardware, as software or SaaS, on DPUs for AI apps, or in containerized environments like Kubernetes.
Integrate with IDaaS providers to ensure per-request app access and the least privileged access necessary for users to do their jobs. Together with third-party device management solutions, ensure user devices remain compliant. Constantly monitor dynamic context and identity-based access policies along with behavioral analysis.
Implementing zero trust should not require you to rip and replace your existing security solutions. F5 ADSP optimizes the solutions you’ve already deployed and use, ensuring an ultra-secure environment— that extends critical zero trust security capabilities to every strategic point in your infrastructure.
Extend zero trust access to every API and app—modern, classic, or custom—with modern authentication measures that include critical capabilities like MFA, SSO with support for SAML, OAuth and OIDC, behavioral risk analysis, and more.
Ensure all app and API communications in a Kubernetes environment are authenticated, authorized, encrypted, monitored and secured with identity-based policies, least-privileged access controls, and WAF and DoS protection.
Ensure partners have access to only the applications, services, and data they need. F5 and Equinix enhance security, reduce management complexity, and ensure compliance across global hybrid environments with network segmentation and granular service policy configuration.
