Protect web and mobile applications from malicious bots

F5 secures an organization’s most valued assets, applications, and sensitive data from bots, automated attacks, web scrapers, and exploits. Advanced WAF extends bot protection to mobile applications through the F5 Anti-Bot Mobile SDK, providing rapid deployment of mobile bot protection through an easy-to-use web portal without requiring any changes to the application or mobile device. Applications fused with mobile bot protection are supported in vendor and third-party application stores.

Safeguard credentials and sensitive data from theft and abuse

Advanced WAF secures credentials and sensitive data from theft and abuse, preventing data breaches and mitigating automated attacks that leverage previously stolen credentials. F5 BIG-IP DataSafe application layer encryption in Advanced WAF masks sensitive fields directly within the user’s web browser, rendering data stolen by bad actors through client-side attacks useless. Using BIG-IP DataSafe, customers can encrypt data at the field level transparently, without requiring any changes on clients or Web servers. Comprehensive brute force mitigation including credential stuffing protection defends against automated attacks that leverage previously stolen credentials.

Defend against sophisticated application denial-of-service (DoS)

Advanced WAF discovers and fingerprints new and unusual traffic patterns without human intervention, distinguishing and isolating potential malicious traffic from legitimate traffic. This automated mitigation capability is based on a continuous feedback loop of client behavior and server stress. If anomalous behavior is detected, Advanced WAF automatically builds a dynamic signature and begins mitigating the attack. The effectiveness of the mitigation is then monitored through the continuous feedback loop. False positives are reduced while accuracy and performance are improved through continuous mitigation tuning as the attack starts, evolves, or stops.

Mitigate sophisticated threat campaigns

Threat Campaigns provide targeted signatures to protect organizations from pervasive attacks that are often coordinated by organized crime and nation states. Based on F5 Labs research, Threat Campaigns provide critical intelligence to fingerprint and mitigate sophisticated attacks with nearly real-time updates. Metadata is used to determine both malicious requests and malicious intent, and the high accuracy of Threat Campaign signatures immediately blocks active threats with low false positives and no learning cycle.

Protect APIs

As web applications expand from connected to collaborative via the extensive use of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Advanced WAF ensures that API methods are enforced on URLs. It also secures applications against API attacks that commonly go undetected by traditional firewalls. With a unique defense mechanism that guards XML, JSON, and GTW APIs through rate limiting, behavioral analysis, and anti-automation, Advanced WAF automatically detects application program interface threats, enforces strict policy rules for each use case, and blocks attacks and special content types—closing the back door on application threats.

2.03 - Match products, features, solutions, to customer initiatives or requirements

https://www.f5.com/solutions

https://partners.f5.com/solutions

This section is very similar with section 1.03 just from a different point of view. You need to be able to educate the customer on what problems our products solve. The IT acronym machine has been running strong for decades and talking in acronyms especially proprietary product acronyms is not a good way to improve the customers understanding of what F5 does. So, being able to correlate F5’s three letter product offerings to the industry standard name of the solution that can meet the customer’s needs is key. If a customer needs to block cross-site scripting (XSS) on their primary internet facing application, you should be able to say which product from F5 can solve their issue. There are many solutions with our products and you should be familiar with them all.




Objective - 2.04 Given a scenario, distinguish architectural considerations that may affect the F5 solution



2.04 - Determine cloud strategy

https://www.f5.com/solutions/cloud

Consistent Application Services

Get consistent app services in any cloud. F5 ensures apps are secure and available, in any infrastructure. You can apply the same enterprise-grade load balancing, DNS services, web application firewalls, access control, application-level security, and policy management found in on-premises environments.


2.04 - Determine security constraints

https://www.f5.com/solutions/cloud/public-cloud

Public Cloud Shared Security

Public CSPs guarantee the security of the infrastructure, but application owners are responsible for the security of their applications and data. This means that Cloud infrastructure may be secure, but customer’s data and applications are not protected by the CSP. There is still a need for application services in the Cloud.

This is a diagram of the AWS shared security model.
