F5’s AI Investments Are Reducing Toil, Enhancing Security, and More

F5 AI Gateway protects, accelerates, and observes AI-powered applications-representing a natural evolution of our application delivery and security capabilities.

Designed for today's hybrid multicloud environments, it can be deployed as a standalone solution or integrated with existing F5 software, hardware, or services.

At its core, AI Gateway is a policy orchestration engine: a mix of model- and pattern-based processors that inspect prompts between users and large language models (LLMs) to detect threats like prompt injection and other emerging AI-specific attacks. As with any AI-focused or security solution today, it must evolve to meet ever-changing needs and threats.

In building new capabilities, our developers are leveraging the F5 AI Data Fabric to simplify the training and deployment of machine learning models. This is a strong example of how a common AI infrastructure accelerates innovation across product teams, allowing them to focus on delivering targeted, AI-driven functionality.
