“Security teams do not need more alarms. They need fewer gaps,” said Kunal Anand, Chief Product Officer at F5.“ADSP closes the loop from finding risk to enforcing protection. That includes moving from identified AI model vulnerabilities to validated runtime guardrails, AI-powered risk scoring, and a practical path to zero trust and post-quantum readiness. The point is simple: move faster while reducing your threat landscape.”

AI-driven protection for modern threats

As organizations scale applications across data center, hybrid multicloud, and edge environments, they need faster, more intelligent responses to emerging threats. F5 addresses this through AI-powered protections in the F5 ADSP, automating risk-based web application firewall (WAF) capabilities that reduce operational overhead and improve threat detection, bridging the gaps between risk identification and mitigation.

Security in the age of agentic AI

F5 is introducing powerful capabilities within F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense

Within the F5 ADSP, Distributed Cloud Bot Defense now offers deeper visibility across application traffic, clearly distinguishing humans, bots, and AI agents. Only trusted, verifiable AI agents are allowed to interact with applications, ensuring malicious or ungoverned activity is blocked while enabling safe, controlled agentic commerce. With unified governance and consistent policy controls for human, bot, and AI agent interactions, these new capabilities help organizations safeguard revenue from harmful automation and confidently participate in the emerging agentic economy.

Building for what's next: Crypto-agility and post-quantum readiness

F5 is reinforcing its leadership in PQC readiness

Collectively, F5's latest security advances deliver on the ADSP promise of seamless application delivery and robust cybersecurity across any deployment scenario. Enterprises benefit from taking a unified platform approach to meeting their security needs.

According to Gartner®,“Organizations should start by evaluating platform solutions first, and many will find that they need to combine a CDN, WAF or API threat protection solution with an API gateway. Again, the key is to look for existing platforms that can be extended or new platforms that offer significant combined capabilities across protection categories. This approach minimizes the number of moving parts and prevents 'proxy overload,' which can lead to excessive performance and availability risk.”¹

With F5's platform-based approach, enterprises gain extended choice to meet their users where they operate, securing applications across hybrid cloud, multicloud, edge, or on-premises ecosystems-all while reducing complexity and time to action.
