We are rapidly transitioning from generative assistants to autonomous #AI agents that call APIs, run code, and make business decisions. 🤖 However, with greater autonomy comes an entirely new attack surface: 🔹Indirect prompt injection 🔹Tool/function hijacking 🔹Rogue or unconstrained agent execution Securing agentic workflows requires moving beyond traditional perimeter boundaries to deep behavioral runtime monitoring.

Frontier AI turns vulnerabilities into exploits in hours—but we’re blocking threats in just minutes. 🔁 Today, we’re announcing 🆕 innovations to F5 WAF for Distributed Cloud and virtual patching to defend against frontier AI-driven threats directly in the data path. Positioned inline in the request stream, our AI-powered WAF delivers the precision needed to block active exploits in real time—giving security leaders the runway to make intelligent, risk-based decisions rather than forcing reactive operational compromises.

AI is changing how applications are built—and how they need to be secured. As organizations deploy AI across applications, APIs, and agents, security has to extend beyond the model to the interactions between them. ICYMI: We’re proud to join the Open Secure AI Alliance alongside NVIDIA and other industry leaders to help advance open research, shared tools, and responsible collaboration that strengthen the security of AI-powered applications and APIs.

F5 reposted this
I'm incredibly excited to launch the next generation of F5 AI Gateway, now integrated into the F5 AI Security Platform. As AI inference scales, token costs become harder to understand and control, sensitive data moves across more boundaries, and agents gain access to a growing universe of tools, systems, and context. Too many teams are being forced to manage all of this through bespoke proxies and disconnected controls that were never designed for what comes next. We built the new F5 AI Gateway to change that. It gives enterprises a unified control point for managing the economics, security, and governance of AI, from controlling token usage and model access to governing how agents interact with enterprise tools and data. I believe AI will reshape not only how applications are built, but how every business operates. Making that future real will require an intelligent control layer that allows enterprises to move quickly without losing visibility, security, or control. That is the future we are building toward at F5, and I'm deeply proud of the team that brought this launch to life. Get the details: https://go.f5.net/8zaqgl10

What happens when your security models can no longer keep pace with modern, AI-powered threats? You have to change how you operate, and you have to change what you can see. Next week at CrowdStrike Fal.Con, we're bringing both sides of that equation. From our CISO, Christopher Burger, mapping out the future of human-machine workflows, to Ahmed Dessouki showing how we are bringing native Falcon EDR to the network layer, we are helping enterprises eliminate critical blind spots for good. Come see the integrations in action and pick up a personalized security giveaway at Booth #417. Add our sessions to your lineup 🔗 https://go.f5.net/n20yhaho
