As organisations accelerate AI adoption, protecting applications and APIs against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats is more critical than ever. Discover how F5 helps organisations strengthen application resilience through AI-powered Web Application and API Protection (WAAP), virtual patching and real-time traffic enforcement.

This whitepaper explores how F5's integrated security capabilities help organisations mitigate emerging threats, reduce vulnerability exposure and maintain business continuity.

Key capabilities include:

• AI-powered WAAP – Inspecting and filtering application and API traffic, applying inline protection before requests reach workloads.

• Virtual patching – Blocking exploitation of known vulnerabilities while permanent code fixes are developed and deployed.

• Agents and bot defence – Mitigating automated, high-volume malicious activity amplified by AI.

• API protection – Securing business-critical interfaces and machine-to-machine traffic against evolving threats.

• Traffic inspection and policy enforcement – Enabling real-time security inspection and enforcement across live traffic through a centralised point.
