F5, cyber security firm will highlight the scale and impact of its distributed cloud services platform at Gitex 2022 in Dubai UAE.
The F5 Distributed Cloud Services provides security, multi-cloud networking, and edge-based computing solutions on a unified software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform.
In addition the platform also encompasses F5 Distributed Cloud WAAP (Web Application and API Protection), which augments multiple security capabilities across F5 technologies in a single SaaS offering.
Research from F5 2022 State of Application Strategy Report reveals that as many as 88 percent of organisations operate both legacy and modern application architectures. Seventy percent also operate in multiple clouds, which expands the threat surface area as companies are forced to deploy separate, and often inconsistent, security controls across different environments. Furthermore, 78 percent of organisations are currently focused on API security measures.
Mohammed Abukhater, RVP for the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa at F5 stated, “Nearly all organizations in the Middle East and beyond find themselves at the epicenter of two significant trends: the evolution of applications as the centre of their customers’ digital lives and the escalation of threats against them. At F5, we’ve transformed both our business and our portfolio to meet these challenges. F5 Distributed Cloud Services is central to this shift, offering a new approach to app security with SaaS-based solutions that are centrally managed but can be deployed anywhere the app needs to be. This maximizes business impact and delivers a superior customer experience.”
GITEX 2022 will also witness the Middle East debut of F5’s new security-focused awareness drive.
