Enhanced F5 AI Gateway delivers inline data classification and policy enforcement

F5 has announced new AI-driven capabilities for the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP).
These updates provide organizations with advanced tools to secure sensitive data and manage AI-powered applications, including expanded capabilities in F5 AI Gateway to prevent data leaks and deliver cutting-edge AI data protection.
Advanced solution
The F5 ADSP is the industry’s most advanced solution to help organizations secure and deliver all applications, including those powered by AI, and address the complexities of hybrid multi-cloud infrastructures and their ever-evolving security and performance challenges.
These enhancements reaffirm F5’s commitment to protecting modern, AI-driven infrastructures by enabling organizations to securely optimize, scale, and orchestrate AI applications.
“The core tension in every boardroom today is the race to adopt AI versus the mandate to protect the firm’s data,” stated Kunal Anand, Chief Innovation Officer at F5. “By providing deep visibility into encrypted AI conversations, we’re giving leaders the controls to stop data leakage and govern AI use, effectively turning the CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) from a gatekeeper into the primary enabler of secure innovation,” he added.
Managing AI risks
To tackle the risks posed by Shadow AI, F5 is announcing plans to enhance BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator to offer AI data protection by delivering real-time visibility into encrypted traffic flows.
This approach enables organizations to detect, classify, and block unauthorized AI use and sharing of sensitive data in-transit to maintain compliance while permitting authorized traffic and enforcing corporate-acceptable use of AI technologies, a press communication concluded.
