AI doesn't run in a vacuum. Neither should AI security. 🔐 We're excited to be recognized in the Market Shapers quadrant in the Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant™ for AI Application Security in the September 2026 report. As AI applications, APIs, and agents move into production, organizations need security that operates across the environments where AI actually runs. That's the challenge we're focused on helping customers solve every day. Learn more: go.f5.net/2d6wm5ht @Gartner_inc, Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security, 2026.

Why waste host CPU cycles on L4-L7 token management and routing when you can offload it directly to the DPU? @ServeTheHome's @Patrick1Kennedy hit up our F5 lab to benchmark BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes running on @nvidia BlueField-3 DPUs. Testing against an Envoy software gateway on an NVIDIA H100 cluster under high concurrency and 20K input tokens, the hardware-offloaded architecture delivered up to 3.24x higher throughput. More tokens, lower latency, and zero host CPU starvation. Explore the hardware configuration and benchmark results on STH: go.f5.net/2m44ervm

New @TollyGroup reports: @F5 BIG-IP CNE vs. VNF on OpenShift
✅ 1.9x DNS throughput
✅ 91.5% less CPU
✅ 98.5% less memory for L4+CGNAT tolly.com/publications/22610… #F5 #CloudNative #5G

✨"That’s so fetch."✨ We hate to break it to you, but just like that phrase, trying to secure modern, machine-speed applications with slow, manual patching cycles, is simply never going to happen. This #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, we're focusing on what actually works. As enterprises rapidly adopt production-grade AI and decentralized APIs, relying on legacy, fragmented security tools only adds complexity to your stack without closing the real gaps. True modern security requires putting automated protection directly where your data flows. By building intelligent security guardrails and real-time bot defense directly into your application traffic path, F5 keeps your entire digital pipeline secure, resilient, and highly performing. ⚡ Trade legacy tools for modern, automated defense: go.f5.net/o2wz17ej #October3rd

AI security is evolving as quickly as AI itself. We’re proud to be recognized in the Market Shapers quadrant in the @Gartner_inc Emerging Market Quadrant™ for AI Application Security in the September 2026 report—one of just two vendors. 💪 As organizations move AI into production, securing AI applications, APIs, agents, and model interactions requires visibility and protection across complex enterprise environments. At F5, we're helping customers address those challenges by extending application delivery and security into the AI era.

Attackers operate in minutes. Defenders are stuck operating in days. ⏳ We’re launching the F5 Post-Mythos Security Summit to help teams defend apps, APIs, and AI models at machine speed. 🧠 Discover 4 reasons to attend on-demand, starting September 10th. 👉 go.f5.net/cbstxncv

An open letter for a global surge in cyber defense, signed by over 100 organizations including Anthropic, AWS, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Oracle.

The window to strengthen cyber defenses is narrowing. We’re joining @OpenAI and other industry leaders in calling for collective action to help defenders stay ahead of increasingly capable AI-enabled cyber attacks. AI is creating new risks—but it also gives defenders powerful new ways to find vulnerabilities, fix weaknesses, and strengthen the critical infrastructure our communities depend on. The opportunity now is to put cyber-capable AI in the hands of more defenders, share what works, and mobilize organizations, technology companies, governments, and the AI community around a stronger collective defense. No single company or technology can solve this alone. Together, we can turn advances in AI into a lasting advantage for defenders. Read the open letter and our call to action: go.f5.net/0cuqty3s

🆕 Introducing the integration of F5 AI Guardrails with @NVIDIA NeMo ™ Guardrails, bringing F5’s enterprise-grade AI security capabilities to production AI applications built on NVIDIA AI software. Learn how this new integration removes the security barrier that stalls enterprise AI production deployments with centralized policy enforcement across every AI application: go.f5.net/au0kb8av

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. 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.

Thirty years ago, applications looked very different. Today, they're the center of how the world works—and one of the biggest security challenges organizations face. For three decades, we've helped the world's largest organizations deliver and secure applications where it matters most. And while a lot has changed, our focus hasn't. Here's to #30years of building for what's next. 👏 go.f5.net/4gtfgesd [via @geekwire]

"These AI models are still vulnerable—and yet they're being deployed at scale." — François Locoh-Donou Organizations can't afford to wait on AI, but they can't afford to overlook security either. Read the full interview with @CRN. 👇 go.f5.net/pdpcagx0
