F5 Networks has announced an Advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution which guards against evolving application threats.
F5’s approach to application security reduces management complexity, decreases Opex, and efficiently delivers services to neutralise attacks, the company said.
Advanced WAF enables F5 customers to deploy essential app security for multiple cloud platforms—private and public—while also promoting service portability through microservices and container use cases. The new solution enhances the company’s self-service WAF Express and managed Silverline WAF offerings.
F5’s Advanced WAF features:
• Protection against credential theft and abuse
• Mitigation of web and mobile bot threats
• Layer 7 DDoS detection using machine learning and behavioural analytics for higher accuracy
“Recent research from F5 Labs revealed that applications are the initial targets in the majority of breaches, suggesting that any app can be an attack vector,” said Ram Krishnan, SVP and GM of the Security business unit at F5.
“Cybercriminals are using sophisticated application-layer exploits, as well as an emerging wave of automated, bot, and IoT-based threats that are quite capable of evading simple signature or reputation-based detection. F5 offers the most complete application protection, with Advanced WAF as a foundational technology that can be deployed, managed, and consumed in the manner that best suits our customers.”
“We are excited to expand our collaboration with F5 by offering our out-of-band DDoS detection capabilities integrated with the updated version of F5DDoS Hybrid Defender. Together with the already existing integration into BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager, Flowmon and F5 offer our customers a best-of-breed solution for identifying and mitigating volumetric DDoS attacks," said Petr Springl, Director of Product and Strategic Alliances, Flowmon Networks, which has offices in Asia Pacific as well as for MEA.
“We are pleased to be working with F5 on the launch of their Advanced WAF solution. Our secure digital infrastructure is enabling our clients to truly embrace the promise of their multicloud ambitions,” said Neville Burdan, Director for Cybersecurity, Dimension Data Asia Pacific.
F5’s Advanced WAF supports a variety of consumption and licensing models, including on a per-app basis, as well as perpetual, subscription, and utility billing. This helps the security operations team (SecOps) better collaborate with modern development and operations (DevOps), and network operations (NetOps) teams to easily deploy app protection services.
For dedicated DDoS protection, F5 also offers an updated version of DDoS Hybrid Defender which optimises the time-to-identify and time-to-mitigate responses.
