Overview

Full API Lifecycle Security

Leave no API Behind: ensure efficient delivery, complete and continuous visibility, dynamic detection of vulnerabilities and threats, plus consistent enforcement across the API fabric underlying your digital business.

F5 provides a unified approach to securing APIs, combining continuous discovery, and the detection of API threats with critical protection and enforcement functionality across your APIs, and the services they enable, plus the systems and data they access. With F5, organizations can protect their sensitive data, enhance application and API security, and maintain operational efficiency as the API threat surface continues to evolve as new endpoints continue getting added and updates are implemented at an increasingly rapid pace.

Deployment Options

Different Ways to Deploy Your API Security

SaaS

Enjoy cloud-based flexibility, delivering complete API discovery, threat detection, monitoring and protection while retaining centralized visibility of your API threat surface and security policy settings.

Hybrid

Seamlessly integrate with existing data planes including BIG-IP, NGINX and 3rd party gateways for out-of-band API discovery and threat detection – no additional proxy or traffic redirection necessary.

On-Premises (Software)

Extend API Security anywhere your business demands including air-gapped, or cloud constrained environments, easily integrates with BIG-IP and is implemented within an organizations own infrastructure, including local lifecycle management, and monitoring.

Products and Services

A comprehensive approach to protecting APIs

Unknown and unmonitored APIs can expose an organization’s critical services, data and intellectual property. The OWASP API Top 10 highlights the variety of threats APIs face including attacks attempting to exfiltrate data, consume or abuse resources, gaps in access and authentication, standard injection attempts and security misconfiguration. To help organizations combat this, F5 delivers a comprehensive approach to protecting API’s throughout their full-lifecycle from build and test through to release, operate and monitor. It enables organizations to maintain business velocity with modern, API enabled app deployments while seamlessly protecting against API specific threats.

Use Cases

Discover, detect, protect

API Discovery

F5 provides multiple lenses of API discovery from code through production – combining analysis of code repositories, with traffic, and client-side web crawling to dramatically improve API visibility, deliver continuous oversight, and identification of an organization’s APIs.

API Threat Detection

F5 provides a variety of mechanisms to identify vulnerabilities and anomalies in APIs and API behavior that can be indicators of an attack or compromise including automated vulnerability testing and runtime detections across the OWASP API Top 10 to help organizations address security risks across the API lifecycle.

API Protection

F5 empowers organizations to safeguard against business logic abuse and threats targeting APIs, pairing robust detection with integrated in-line enforcement – helping block risky endpoints, regulate API behavior, prevent malicious exploits, and secure sensitive data from exposure through APIs.
