Shift Left to Protect APIs with F5 | Partner Spotlight
APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient.
Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT's Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can "shift left" to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Customer Deployment Mode Azure
This deployment mode is ideal for protecting backend applications that require direct internet traffic with no intermediary processing, ensuring maximum security and privacy.
It's also suitable for local traffic scenarios where all traffic originates and terminates within the same customer site.
In this mode, XC WAF is configured on the Customer Edge (CE) devices deployed at the customer's premises. In this case Azure Kubernetes cluster acted as customer's premises.
End-users connect directly to the CEs, bypassing the XC Global Network. Meanwhile, the CE sites remain managed through the XC Cloud-based console ensuring centralized control and visibility.
Automation.Day NYC '24 - BIG-IP Application Automation - 10 Years In
BIG-IP application automation has been at the forefront for a decade. As we look to build out the next ten years of automation, this session helped you learn about F5's new methodologies and implementations and where we went wrong over the past ten years.
Because BIG-IP and applications are no longer in single or DR locations due to digital transformation and the global pandemic, our implementation footprints have moved to distributed locations. In this presentation, we observed firsthand how BIG-IP application automation has changed to support this transformation, including how we create reusable items with local resources.
Optimizing Application Delivery and Security with F5's BIG-IP Next | Partner Spotlight
Today's rapidly evolving business landscape is forcing organizations to think differently about their application ecosystem and how it's delivered to end users. But as applications increasingly get distributed across cloud, edge and data center environments, complexity and security risks grow.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional and App Connect Deployment Mode
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge and App Connect Deployment mode. This deployment model offers an optimal solution for scenarios where backend applications are inaccessible from the internet, lacking a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP.
In this case Customer Edge sites can be deployed to connect these "private" customer sites to the XC Global Network via IPSEC tunnels opened from Distributed Cloud Customer Edges to the closes two REs sites.
Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the Internet through anycast IPs.
Customer Edges are being deployed on the customer sites and connect to the closest RE and traffic will be inspected by the WAAF security policy.
The traffic will then be forwarded across the distributed cloud global network towards an egress Regional Edge and then over an IPSEC tunnel to the Customer edge site where it will be forwarded to the backend applications as pure IP-based traffic.
