Intelligent local and global traffic management: BIG-IP LTM and BIG-IP DNS

Ensure your apps are fast, available and secure with local and global server load balancing, performance optimization, cryptooffload and granular traffic visibility.

Intelligent Traffic Management: From basic load balancing to complex traffic management decisions, BIG-IP LTM and BIG-IP DNS deliver granular control over application traffic.
Programmability: Gain complete programmatic control over app traffic with iRules, allowing you to implement security rules, fix app-related errors in real-time, and much more.
Blazing Fast SSL: Cost-effectively protect your user experience by encrypting everything from client to server with BIG-IP’s high-performance cryptoprocessing capabilities.

Advanced application and API protection: Advanced WAF

Advanced WAF redefines application security to address the most prevalent threats facing organizations today, including automated bot attacks that overwhelm existing security solutions, web attacks that steal credentials and gain unauthorized access to user accounts, and app-layer attacks that evade static security based on reputation and manual signatures.

Proactive Bot Defense: Protect apps from automated attacks from bots and other malicious tools.
App-layer (L7) DoS: Leverage behavioral analytics and machine learning to detect and mitigate L7 DoS attacks before they impact your apps.
API Protection: Provide comprehensive protection for REST/JSON, XML, and GWT APIs.

Secure and unified application access: BIG-IP APM

BIG-IP APM is a secure, flexible, high-performance access management proxy solution managing global access to your network, the cloud, apps, and APIs.

Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP): Deploy zero-trust model validation based on granular context to secure every app request.
Identity Federation, MFA and SSO: Federate identity, drive adaptive multi-factor authentication (supporting FIDO U2F and RADIUS protocols), and enable single sign-on to simplify app access.
Secure Remote and Mobile Access: Unify identity for remote access via SSL VPN with a secure and adaptive per-app VPN.

Infrastructure and DDoS protection: BIG-IP AFM

BIG-IP AFM is a high-performance, full-proxy network security solution designed to protect networks and data centers from aggressive DDoS and protocol attacks before they overwhelm and degrade services.

Network protection: Identify and mitigate network, protocol, and DNS threats before they reach critical resources.
DDoS mitigation: Thwart volumetric DDoS attacks before they impact users’ ability to interact with applications.
High-volume logging controls: Support SNMP, SIP, DNS and IPFIX collectors while protecting log servers from being overwhelmed.
