F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) and Forcepoint announced an alliance to secure enterprise AI across the full lifecycle, combining Forcepoint's AI-native DSPM data discovery and classification with F5's AI red teaming, guardrails, and runtime protections in the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform.
The partnership aims to close gaps between data governance and runtime enforcement, enabling real-time risk prioritization, policy enforcement across APIs and agents, and continuous telemetry and validation for production AI systems.
F5 (NASDAQ:FFIV), together with AWS and Microsoft, contributed to an NSS Labs white paper establishing a framework for AI guardrail efficacy testing. The paper defines critical capability areas, a validation-testing blueprint, and governance guidance to help enterprises evaluate AI security, resilience, and accountability.
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) and Skyfire announced a technology partnership to integrate Skyfire’s Know Your Agent (KYA) protocol with F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform. The integration aims to let merchants distinguish verified AI agents from malicious bots, enable tokenized agent payments, and monetize agentic traffic.
The Skyfire integration with F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense will be available by April 30, 2026, and is designed to work within existing stacks with no re-platforming required.
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) and NVIDIA expanded their integration on March 17, 2026 to accelerate AI inference with BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes and NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs. Validated results show up to 40% higher token throughput, 61% faster time to first token, and 34% lower latency.
The joint solution offloads networking and security to DPUs, improves GPU utilization, supports multi-tenant AI platforms, and aims to lower cost per token without model changes.
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) announced new security capabilities within the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) on March 11, 2026, delivering AI-driven protections, unified zero trust access, and crypto-agile post-quantum readiness for hybrid multicloud and edge environments.
