Why F5
Why we recommend F5 to our customers
F5 is the reference standard for application delivery and the right partner when you need WAF, bot defence, and load balancing that can scale to the largest banking, telco, and government workloads.
Industry's most programmable proxy
iRules and iControl APIs let you write any logic at L4-L7, the reason F5 sits in front of mission-critical banking, payment, and government applications globally.
Enterprise-grade WAAP
Distributed Cloud WAAP combines WAF, DDoS, API security, and Shape bot defence on one SaaS platform, with no infrastructure to deploy. Strong fit for hybrid cloud apps.
AI-driven bot defence
Shape Security telemetry from 4B+ daily transactions powers bot detection that distinguishes humans, good bots, and malicious automation with near-zero false positives.
NGINX for modern apps
F5 owns NGINX, the most widely-used web server. Run NGINX Plus as your Kubernetes Ingress, API gateway, or microservices proxy with enterprise support.
SSL Orchestrator
Centralised TLS decryption / re-encryption with policy-based service chaining, decrypt once and feed cleartext flows to IPS, DLP, sandbox, and SWG without daisy-chaining decryptions.
Hardware + virtual + SaaS flexibility
Deploy F5 as iSeries / VIPRION hardware, BIG-IP virtual edition, NGINX containers, or fully managed Distributed Cloud, often all four in the same enterprise architecture.
