With the surge in the number of applications, the expansion of cloud and hybrid architectures, and the rise of distributed applications that rely heavily on microservices and APIs, a series of cloud security issues have gradually been exposed, and cloud security issues have been taken seriously. In the past, applications and network perimeters were primarily used to isolate them, but now application and network perimeters alone are no longer sufficient, so enterprise security teams are looking for consistent security and visibility policies.
Chen Liang, General Manager of F5 Security Business Unit and Technical Director of Finance & Enterprise Business Unit, said, "We are in an era of big applications, and application and API security have become the cornerstone of all digital experiences that provide us with work, consumption, shopping, medical care, travel, payment, etc. in our daily lives. With accurate analytics and deployment options across SaaS, packaged software, hardware appliances, and managed services, F5's application and API security solutions provide users with unmatched security and better cloud security for enterprises and service providers.
F5 offers a complete suite of full-stack security solutions that bring robust security capabilities to applications and APIs deployed across on-premises, cloud, and edge. In addition, F5's end-to-end security measures enable the collection and analysis of threat data across all deployment sites, including ongoing and emerging attack campaigns detected by the F5 Threat Campaigns service. F5's AI-powered web application firewall (WAF) solution has unique malicious user detection and mitigation capabilities that create a threat score for each user based on behavioral analysis that determines intent. Enables security operations to choose between alerting or automated blocking to stop attacks that would otherwise not be detected by static signatures.
"Just as every business faces different risks, application security can't be a one-size-fits-all solution," said Chris Steffen, director of management research at EMA (Enterprise Management Association). Today's leading technology vendors have adopted a better way to address security risks by leveraging unified security policies and hardened machine learning across multiple environments—data center, cloud, hybrid, and edge deployments—to deliver consolidated security capabilities. F5's security solutions provide users with the flexibility to scale applications and infrastructure, while providing them with leading security capabilities for deployment in any environment. ”
With the rapid development of cloud computing, cloud security has become an important guarantee for the implementation of cloud strategy. Now, F5 users can strengthen their security posture directly with an improved analytics engine and unified policy enforcement, bringing stronger protection to modern applications.
