F5 Named a Finalist (Again!) in the 2025 SC Awards for Best API Security Solution
We’re proud to announce that F5 has once again been recognized by SC Media—this time as a finalist in the 2025 SC Awards for Best API Security Solution. We have a long-standing history with SC Media, having won awards for best web application security solution in 2023 and our win in the API Security category last year. This year’s nomination reflects our continued innovation and leadership in one of the most critical areas of cybersecurity.
Trusted by enterprises, built for what’s next
With strong enterprise adoption across finance, healthcare, retail, and tech, F5 Distributed Cloud API Security was recognized for its integrated approach to API security that enables organizations to secure APIs from a single, centralized platform. “With continuous product enhancements, machine-learning-driven anomaly detection, and a strong enterprise adoption rate, F5 is helping businesses fortify their API security strategies,” the team at SC Media wrote.
Part of our recently introduced F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform, Distributed Cloud API Security doesn’t just work—it scales. From continuous API discovery to real-time threat detection and enforcement, we help organizations secure their APIs throughout the entire lifecycle.
But this year’s recognition comes at a time when the stakes have never been higher.
The new API risk landscape
As AI-powered applications become more mainstream, they’re creating an explosion in API traffic and complexity. This rapid growth is introducing new attack surfaces—especially at the API endpoint level. More endpoints mean more opportunities for misconfigurations, exposed data, and automated exploitation.
Industry leaders and security teams alike are raising the alarm: securing APIs is no longer optional. It’s foundational to protecting modern digital infrastructure.
That’s why we’ve doubled down on advanced behavioral analytics, intelligent rate-limiting, and posture controls that are purpose-built for the scale and speed of AI-era applications.
