Multi-tiered DDoS protection is vital

DDoS was the most common service provider attack for three years straight, representing 77% of all incidents in 2019.¹ Get the protection that works best for your business based on where your applications are hosted—in the cloud, on-premises, or a mix of both—and how hands-on you want to be. Your solution can evolve over time as application infrastructure protection needs change. F5 offers a multi-layer (L3-L7) DDoS attack protection against all vectored attacks and stops DDoS attacks before they affect your business.

BIG-IP AFM DDoS Protection

Protects against attacks that consume network and application resources and can signal upstream to the cloud-scrubbing service.

Advanced WAF

Protects against layer 7 application attacks that target CPU or memory resources and can signal upstream to the cloud-scrubbing service.

BIG-IP VE for SmartNICs

Increase DDoS absorption capacity by approximately 70x while observing significant TCO savings.

Security, speed, and scale while ensuring DNS delivery

F5 offers a hyperscale and secure DNS solution for service providers that enables faster web browsing and reduces latency. This improves subscribers’ user experience, leading to reduced churn and increased revenue.
