Optimize your zero trust investments and extend zero trust security across your entire digital estate.
The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) provides the foundation for zero trust in hybrid, multicloud, and AI-driven environments. Zero trust application access control is core, but zero trust also requires protection for APIs, data, workloads, networks, users, and devices. F5 ADSP delivers unified visibility, policy enforcement, and threat intelligence at the application layer, helping organizations secure and control access to applications wherever they run.
Authenticate and authorize every user, device, and request with identity- and context-aware access policies.
Grant users only the verified access they need—nothing more—to reduce attack surface and prevent breaches.
Continuously assess users, devices, and traffic to detect anomalies in real time and stop threats before they spread.
F5 ADSP protects apps, APIs, and components across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments—wherever they run.
Zero trust application accesswith F5 uses Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) to verify user identity and context before every access request.
Unlike traditional Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), which enforces access at the session or resource level (L4–L7), zero trust application access applies per-request, Layer 7 application-layer controls.
This “never trust, always verify” model strengthens security by continuously authenticating users for each app, API, and data request, reducing risk and delivering precise, resource-level access control.
Delivers zero trust application access with policy-based user authentication.
Encrypted threat protection strengthens zero trust security with high-performance SSL/TLS decryption, re-encryption, and intelligent traffic orchestration.
By decrypting encrypted traffic at scale, organizations enable existing security tools to inspect and detect hidden threats like ransomware and malware without creating blind spots.
This approach prevents policy bypass, maintains regulatory compliance, and ensures encrypted traffic is securely inspected and re-encrypted—protecting applications, APIs, and users without sacrificing performance.
Exposes shadow AI with policy-based decryption and deep traffic inspection.
Zero trust for Kubernetes secures every application and API communication with strong authentication, authorization, and end-to-end encryption.
Enforce identity-based policies and least-privilege access controls while applying Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DoS protection to defend against threats.
With continuous monitoring and Layer 7 visibility, organizations can protect Kubernetes workloads, prevent lateral movement, and secure cloud-native environments without slowing innovation.

Manage and secure API traffic in modern environments with NGINX tooling
Secures workloads with advanced layer 7 controls in dynamic Kubernetes.
Protects against DoS attacks using multi-layered, adaptive functionality.
Data leakage detection and prevention technology protects sensitive data in motion with real-time traffic inspection, in-transit data classification, and policy-driven enforcement.
By continuously monitoring application and API traffic, organizations can detect and block unauthorized data exfiltration, enforce compliance requirements, and reduce insider and external threats.
Secure data across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments without disrupting business operations.
Terminate, inspect, and steer app traffic to enforce policy-driven data controls.
Exposes shadow AI with policy-based decryption and deep traffic inspection.
Advance zero trust security with layered protection for web applications and APIs.
Combine Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS protection, bot management, and API security to inspect every request, enforce consistent security policies, and stop threats in real time.
Protect applications across hybrid and multicloud environments—whether deployed on-prem, in the cloud, or at the edge—while maintaining performance, visibility, and control.

Scalable SaaS WAF provides web app security and observability across environments.
Detects and mitigates attacks before they reach network infrastructure and applications.
Discover and map APIs, block unwanted traffic and connections, and prevent data leakage.
Defend against malicious bots and other automated attacks to ensure safe user experiences.
Protect apps, APIs, and data from vulnerability exploits, app-layer DoS attacks, and bots.
