Seattle, May 05, 2024 – The recent Enterprise Management Associates’ Vendor Vision 2024 report has named F5 as a visionary in API security for its groundbreaking F5 Distributed Cloud Web App and API Protection (WAAP). This recognition highlights F5’s holistic approach to API and application security, setting it apart from other solutions in the market.
API security has become a critical challenge for companies as they embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and deploy AI-enabled services. APIs, which connect modern applications, have become prime targets for cybercriminals. In fact, F5 Distributed Cloud Services report that during the first quarter of 2024, 81% of the total attacks mitigated aimed at APIs.
“F5 invented API security and has been at the forefront of its development and improvement. They have positioned themselves as leaders in cloud, application, and network security,” stated Christopher Steffen, VP of Research at EMA.
F5 understands the complexity crisis driven by hybrid multicloud environments that organizations face today. With a focus on tackling the root causes rather than just symptoms, F5 has invested significantly in creating app and API security solutions. By integrating F5 NGINX and F5 Distributed Cloud Services with their legendary BIG-IP for traditional apps, F5 delivers a comprehensive, AI-ready API security solution that can be easily deployed.
Chuck Herrin, Field CTO for API Security at F5, emphasizes the need for simpler and faster API security solutions that can keep up with the speed of AI-powered development. “Customers must demand comprehensive API discovery and runtime protection,” Herrin said. F5’s solution provides end-to-end oversight and comprehensive controls, ensuring consistent security throughout the entire application and API lifecycle.
