Frequently asked questions

F5's security summit is a virtual event exploring how frontier AI is transforming the threat landscape and what security leaders can do about it. Sessions cover AI-powered web application and API protection (WAAP), virtual patching, bot defense for the agentic AI era, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness, and securing enterprise AI, featuring F5 leaders alongside guests from Forrester and CrowdStrike.

The summit launches on September 10, 2026. Sessions are available on demand after launch, so you can watch on your own schedule.

The summit is designed for CISOs, security architects, SOC and security operations leaders, application and API security teams, and platform engineering leaders responsible for protecting apps, APIs, and AI workloads. Sessions range from strategic guidance for executives to deeper technical architecture for practitioners.

Sessions address the biggest shifts facing enterprise security today, including how frontier AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery and shrinking the patch window, defending against agentic bots, protecting AI applications and models as a new attack surface, preparing for Q-Day with post-quantum cryptography, and what CISOs should demand from their security vendors.

The summit is a fully virtual, on-demand event. Register once and you can stream every session, including keynotes, 15-minute lightning talks, and the fireside chat with CrowdStrike, from anywhere at no cost.
