F5 has made known their intention to change their application delivery security platform. In a big way, in particular, focusing on the enhanced API discovery and the general app delivery performance. The company has published the statement including the details on the new features that deepen API visibility, improve threat detection capabilities. Make hybrid and multicloud IT environments easier to connect. They are the additions to the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), version 7.0.
In a statement, Anand said
“APIs are everywhere, powering every connection across apps, users, and data.”
He further explained the benefits of F5’s unified approach:
“With these new capabilities, we give organizations unified visibility and control over APIs—whether supported by F5 BIG-IP, F5 NGINX, or Distributed Cloud Services, or within air-gapped environments. We’re collapsing complexity, giving teams instant control over bot defense, cloud-native operations, and network connectivity, all in one platform.”
Anand concluded:
“The result: enterprises can innovate faster, defend smarter, and scale anywhere, without compromise.”
Besides that, F5 has broadened the methods of API discovery to let their customers find the endpoints. Data flows that are entirely new to them without the need for traffic paths to be changed. Improvements also allow more proxies and gateways to be easily discovered. What is even more important, to put the icing on the cake. The platform now changes API testing by the triggering of advanced threat detection compliance with OWASP API Top 10 standards. As a result, the security teams can now find the issues of broken authentication. Other types of vulnerabilities in the earliest stages.
Additionally, F5 has upgraded the bot defense capabilities so that the process of ramp-up can be more comfortable. The user can have more control over the bot traffic policies through the simplified console routing to the teams. The release also enables cloud-native operations to be uplifted with the redesigned service discovery for Kubernetes. Advanced routing intelligence to be easily integrated into F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect. By implementing these changes, F5 wants to give businesses the tools they need to speed up their innovation. Enhance their defense, and securely grow across hybrid and multicloud ecosystems.
