F5 on Thursday announced the launch of F5 Distributed Cloud Services App Infrastructure Protection (AIP), expanding its SaaS-based security portfolio. The new release is a cloud workload protection solution that will provide application observability and protection to cloud-native infrastructures. <\/p>\n

AIP is built using technology acquired with Threat Stack<\/a> and will be a part of the F5 Distributed Cloud Services portfolio, launched earlier this year. <\/p>\n

AIP will complement F5\u2019s API Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n

F5 already has a service called API Security<\/a>,<\/u> which helps organizations discover and map APIs, block unwanted connections, and prevent data leakage. AIP goes one step further and provides telemetry collection and intrusion detection for cloud-native workloads. <\/p>\n

\u201cOrganizations are drowning in complexity, and end users are demanding good digital experiences that require modernized back-end infrastructure,\u201d said Chris Ford, RVP for product and engineering at F5. \u201cF5 Distributed Cloud launched this year in order to address these problems and help customers secure their modern apps. The addition of F5 Distributed Cloud App Infrastructure Protection (AIP) furthers this mission and gives security leaders more observability throughout their modern environments.\u201d <\/p>\n

AIP collects 120 billion events per day and runs them through a rules and machine learning-based detection filter to alert on threats in real time across the entire infrastructure stack\u2014cloud provider APIs, virtual machine instances, containers, and Kubernetes.  <\/p>\n

With behavioral-based detection, Distributed Cloud AIP can identify insider threats, external threats, and data exposure risks for modern applications.<\/p>\n
