F5 – Security Solutions.
At F5, their mission is based on the fact that businesses depend on apps. Whether it’s apps that help connect businesses to their customers or apps that help employees do their jobs—we make sure apps are always available, and secure, anywhere. The world’s largest enterprises, service providers, financial and educational institutions, government entities, and consumer brands rely on F5 to stay ahead of security, cloud, and mobility trends
Protect your applications as they are the gateway to your data—and most breaches happen at the app level. Protecting your data, and your business, requires thinking about app security first with integrated solutions to defend critical areas of risk.
In any environment, wherever you deploy your app—on-premises, private, public, or multi-cloud—their enterprise-grade app services will follow. These performance and security services include load balancing, DNS services, web application firewalls (WAF), identity and access federation, and DDoS mitigation.
With flexible models to keep pace with innovation, many customers need greater budget flexibility. F5 can provide enterprise-grade app services as hardware or software, and can provide flexible licensing subscriptions such as perpetual licenses, annual licenses, or pay-as-you-go options. They also provide applications as-a-service if you need on-demand application protection.
DDoS is the new SPAM.
Today’s multi-vector attacks are increasingly sophisticated, employing a variety of tactics. With an extensive defence strategy that integrates on-premise protection with cloud-scrubbing, you can turn DDoS attacks from a catastrophe into a minor annoyance.

SSL Orchestrator.
What you can’t see will hurt you.
Today, the percentage of SSL traffic already exceeds 70% and it continues to increase. About half to three quarters of all attacks use this encrypted traffic to mask their malicious data. If you do not inspect this traffic, you’ll miss attacks and your organisation will be vulnerable to data leaks. Having insight into the encrypted traffic is a prerequisite for the protection of your data. SSL Orchestrator provides robust decryption/encryption of outgoing SSL/TLS traffic.
Deployment options.
SSL Orchestrator supports several delivery models—Inline Layer 3, Inline Layer 2, ICAP—for easy integration into complex infrastructures.

Application protection, data protection.
Threats against applications and data are persistent and increase with every passing day. These threats need to be identified and defended against without crippling application performance and compromising your company’s data.
BIG-IP Advanced Web Application Firewall (AWAF) defends against sophisticated, complex threats with a security efficiency of 99.89%. At the same time, application performance is maintained by SSL outsourcing applications and preventing the caching of malicious content.
