What it does
F5's network-layer AI security gateway that protects, accelerates, and observes AI-powered applications. Sits in the network path between users and AI services, providing security scanning, rate limiting, and observability.
Security relevance
Network-layer enforcement means F5 AI Gateway can protect AI applications regardless of their implementation. It catches threats at the network boundary — prompt injection in HTTP payloads, data exfiltration in responses, and model theft through excessive API usage (LLM10).
When to use it
Deploy when you need network-level AI security enforcement across multiple AI applications. Enterprise network appliance requiring procurement, infrastructure integration, and network architecture changes. Best suited for organisations already using F5 infrastructure.
OWASP coverage
Risks addressed — mapped to both OWASP Top 10 standards. 3 in LLM, 2 in Agentic.
