F5 transforms application security for the AI era
F5 is bringing API code testing and telemetry analysis to F5 Distributed Cloud Services – creating what is pitched as industry ’ s most comprehensive and AI-ready API security solution .
In F5 ’ s forthcoming 2024 State of Application
Strategy report , 88 % of enterprises report that they deploy apps and APIs across multiple locations – with no single cloud is perfect for every application .
F5 has also announced it is making AI pervasive across its entire solution portfolio with intelligent capabilities that help customers protect against sophisticated AI-powered threats , while making it easier to secure and manage multicloud application environments .
“ Companies already face daunting complexity and a rapidly changing threat landscape . The added pressure to secure and deliver AI services compounds this , putting many security and IT teams in an untenable position ,” said François Locoh- Donou , President and CEO , F5 .
“ We are delivering new capabilities that ensure our customers are ready for AI , making it significantly easier for them to protect and power every app , every API , everywhere .”
This , says F5 , has created ‘ immense complexity ’ in enterprise application environments .
The same research found that the percentage of organisations hosting their applications in six different environments doubled in the past year , to 38 %. At the same time , applications and the critical data that flows through them have become the preferred targets for increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks .
The report says complexity is not just slowing down operations but expanding the threat surface area and creating substantial risk for organisations .
