This is particularly useful for organizations with limited security resources.

L3-L7 Protection

Providing multi-layered protection, F5 defends against a wide range of attack vectors, from volumetric network-layer floods to sophisticated application-layer exploits. This comprehensive approach ensures that organizations are protected against both known and emerging threats, offering a more robust security posture.

Real-Time Detection

Using advanced network monitoring and analytics, F5 detects and mitigates attacks in real-time. This rapid detection capability allows organizations to quickly respond to threats and minimize the impact of DDoS attacks on their online services, ensuring business continuity.

WAAP Integration

Integrated with Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) features, including WAF, bot defense, and API security, F5 provides a holistic security solution. This integration allows organizations to protect their web applications and APIs from a wide range of threats, including DDoS attacks, bot traffic, and application-layer exploits.

Global Scrubbing Network
