The secret to scaling AI is overcoming Conway’s Law
AI won’t scale by itself. Without a unified control plane that collapses tooling and ownership boundaries, inference becomes the most brittle and coordination-heavy tier.

AI App Delivery Top 10: Lack of fault tolerance and resiliency
AI makes classic resiliency gaps far more costly: single GPU or dependency failures cascade through synchronous inference chains, compounding latency and degrading outputs.

API security risks persist across all environments, even when air-gapped
Internal APIs often have reduced governance and visibility, creating vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit even if air-gapped or protected on-premises.

Virtual patching in practice with F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF and F5 Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning
Virtual patching reduces risk when a patch isn’t immediately available for a vulnerability, providing an organization security and time to create, test, and deploy a patch.

AI App Delivery Top 10: Weak DNS practices
For inference and agentic systems, DNS resilience is critical to availability and performance—bad resolution means misrouting, latency spikes, and service blackouts across regions.

Behavior and boundaries: The agentic security shift
Agents create emergent, unbounded sequences where risk accumulates over time. Security must shift from single-request validation to continuous behavioral governance across multi-step, evolving flows.

Identity is the gatekeeper to agentic AI
As agentic AI shifts machines from tools to actors, identity becomes the core control: who can act, on whose behalf, with what scope—enforced inline at inference time.

The role of WAFs and API discovery in securing agentic AI applications
To secure agentic AI systems as fast as their capabilities and integrations change at runtime, API discovery and WAFs are necessary to apply practical controls.

Inference is now the center of operational gravity
Multi-model operations and API-driven automation push control to inference-time layers—prompt, token/control, routing, and moderation—where cost, risk, and performance must be managed.

Sessions are sticky, context is clingy: How inference cheats to maintain conversations
“Stateless” inference isn’t truly stateless—conversation state is hauled along in tokens each request. That replay drives bandwidth, compute, and latency as context grows.
