F5 Data Center Security
Mobile Network Security Services by Vast Edge

Mobile Network Security

As the business workforce becomes increasingly mobile, critical business applications are relied upon for productivity. Delivering high-performance apps to mobile and remote users, many of whom bring their own devices to the network, requires dynamic, flexible, and powerful security.

With F5, businesses can secure access to applications and data from anywhere, while also protecting applications wherever they reside. F5 delivers an intelligent services platform that integrates application delivery, monitoring, and context-based policy enforcement. Get a highly scalable, extensible, and simplified approach to maximizing security.

Protect Your Business Data Center

Conventional firewalls are struggling against increasingly complex Internet threats. F5's application delivery firewall solution integrates business networks, applications, data, and users into a single security strategy. This solution provides ICSA Labs-certified network-layer protection with significantly higher connection capacity than traditional firewalls. Moreover, it's the first firewall at the network's edge capable of inspecting traffic while monitoring the health of the data center it protects.

Secure Business Applications

Applications and data face evolving threats that pose significant risks to businesses. F5 offers a flexible, ICSA-certified web application firewall and comprehensive, policy-based web application security to address emerging threats at the application level.

F5 Solution

F5 Solutions lower maintenance and management costs while increasing the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of applications, networks, and processes.

Streamline Secure Access

Demand for user access to applications and data from any device and any location puts corporate resources at risk. With access security from F5, businesses get centralized, flexible access policy control that provides comprehensive protection and keeps users productive. Manage access control efficiently while accelerating application access for mobile workforce up to 5x.

Protect Against DNS Attacks/strong>

DNS attacks aiming to hijack DNS query responses and redirect clients to malicious sites are increasing. Previously, businesses faced a dilemma between high availability of global server load balancing and DNSSEC protection. Moreover, the CPU-intensive process of validating DNSSEC could slow responses and lower productivity. Today, F5 offers a comprehensive DNSSEC real-time signing solution, delivering security, improved performance, and global availability in a single device.

Block DDoS Attacks

DDoS and other sophisticated attacks can disrupt an organization's ability to conduct business at any time. F5 provides advanced protection at the network, session, and application layers against a wide range of denial-of-service vectors. F5 solutions offer significant scale, deep application fluency, and contextual intelligence necessary to block massive and targeted attacks while maintaining application and network availability for legitimate users.

Security for Service Providers

With the increasing rate of network attacks, organizations are struggling to manage the proliferation of devices, traffic, cloud-based services, and evolving security threats. F5 offers service provider security solutions that safeguard the entire infrastructure, from the data center to the core network, and can scale to perform under demanding conditions. Leveraging its intelligent services framework, F5 integrates network, applications, data, and users to provide security solutions that traditional firewalls and point solutions cannot offer.

Protect and Consolidate 3G and 4G Services Infrastructure

F5 offers the highest performing and most scalable firewall solution for 3G and 4G deployments with its S/Gi firewall solution. Organizations can deploy multiple critical services like CGNAT and traffic steering along with security on the same platform, eliminating the need for point solutions. This enables them to ensure protection, deliver high performance, and reduce costs across the entire Gi and SGi services infrastructure.

Scale Up to Defend Against Large Attacks

Existing security infrastructures are often overwhelmed by large attacks with overwhelming force and potentially multiple attack sources. F5 solutions protect data centers from more than 30 different DDoS-style attacks and defend core networks against SYN flood and port scan attacks. F5 provides a native, high-performance, ICSA Labs-certified solution that scales to perform under the most demanding conditions.

Ensure Service Availability

When a business network experiences issues, service calls increase, and customer satisfaction decreases, potentially leading customers to seek other service providers. F5 protects the entire infrastructure with a multi-tiered security framework that ensures high service availability despite increasingly varied attacks.

Gain Flexibility to Manage Evolving Threats

Attacks that will threaten business networks in three years may not exist today. Businesses require a stateful, full-proxy firewall providing Layer 4-7 control and capable of adapting as quickly as the threat landscape changes. Using F5's iRules scripting language, businesses can define and deploy new protocol and security functions within hours and days rather than months. Additionally, they gain access to a developer community of over 100,000 users for rapid-response security efforts.

Reduce Deployment and Operational Costs

Why use up to 10 boxes to scale up when one is sufficient? With F5 security solutions, service providers can handle millions of concurrent connections and higher throughput on a single appliance. This reduces the hardware needed to deploy and manage, resulting in decreased capital and operational expenses.
