Security and load balancing for WebApps and APIs at a lower entry-level price.
F5 optimises API security through universal observability, AI/ML-supported dynamic detection, context-based visualisations and comprehensive protective measures.
Risks and complexity are reduced and a scalable and resilient app and API security situation is created. F5 solutions maintain bot resilience and automatically adapt to new attack methods - without sacrificing usability.
The Distributed Cloud Platform is that famous F5 quality as a cloud-native SaaS suite, fully integrated via a single policy engine and management console. F5 Distributed Cloud starts at a quarter of the hardware-based F5 BIG-IP price.
Typical KRITIS use cases for the F5 solution are
App to app communication such as in the public sector between an MRT and a software or the road networks with digital signposting of the public sector
Edge computing, e.g. mobile devices for patient data in nursing care
Webshops including all payment functions and connection to external payment service providers
Appointment booking tools for customers

- Unlimited number of endpoints (i.e. origin servers) and unlimited number of endpoint locations for health checks. The granularity of health checks for endpoints is one second, including load balancing.
- Layer 4 - 7, advanced protection functions enable the filtering of data traffic based on source address, source port, destination address, destination port and protocol. 100 IP prefixes and policing functions included.
- Provides multi-layered protection for web applications against formjacking, magecart, digital skimming, and other malicious JavaScript attacks. Includes detection, alerting and mitigation, including 1 million transactions.
- Find and report vulnerabilities with automated penetration tests. Three web applications included.
- F5 Distributed Cloud WAF supports the verification of the two most common API protocols: GraphQL and REST.
- WAF signature engine contains signatures for automated threats and bot techniques, including crawlers, DDoS attacks, DoS attacks and more.
- Context-based event processing in a console with customisation options and drill-down into all WAF, bot, API and other Layer 7 security events.
- Layer 3 network connectivity (public cloud, on-prem, distributed edge environments), native TLS encryption and automated provisioning/orchestration of public cloud network constructs.
- 250 primary and/or secondary zones included with automatic scaling as traffic patterns and request volumes grow. DDoS protection included.
- Native TLS encryption for all data transmissions in networks.
- Geolocation load balancing, status checks and automated reactions. Fully automated disaster recovery. 50 included.
