Available across the F5 network (Regional Edge, composed of fully capable data centers) or on customer private or public cloud environments (Customer Edge), the F5 Distributed Cloud Services security stack increases customer flexibility. It's deployable across multiple, complicated architectures and complex multicloud environments to address intricate, hybrid use cases.

F5 continues to deliver comprehensive security for AI apps and workloads. Our WAAP solution discovers, monitors, and protects the APIs that connect and power AI apps and workloads from code to production. And it improves security by quickly remediating threats with continuous inspection, schema enforcement, and machine learning-powered defenses.

The report noted, "F5 released BIG-IP Next in October 2023, including the BIG-IP Next LTM and WAF updates. BIG-IP Next is designed for the cloud, provides hitless upgrades, and offers a streamlined user interface. It provides BIG-IP software as containerized offering for scalability and cloud deployment."

The IDC MarketScape also noted, "The F5 strategic road map addresses AI security needs. GenAI is a new threat vector but also provides customers an opportunity for optimization such as penetration testing for LLMs."
