F5’s key theme at GITEX is the need for organisations to embrace a unified, platform-based approach to securing and scaling AI applications across hybrid multicloud environments. With only 2% of organisations highly ready to scale AI securely, according to F5’s 2025 State of AI Application Strategy Report, the need for an integrated approach has never been clearer.
F5 will present a range of solutions, with the main focus on the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform, ADSP, which is central to enabling organisations to address and optimise the opportunities ahead. Announced last year, ADSP is the industry’s most advanced solution to help organisations secure and deliver all applications, including those powered by AI. It also addresses the complexities of hybrid multicloud infrastructures and their ever-evolving security and performance challenges.
AI-powered applications are now core to every digital business. At GITEX, we will show how the F5 ADSP can support model and cloud agnostic guardrails for AI, real-time protections to help prevent sensitive data leakage, and the visibility needed to help govern shadow AI. With unified policies across apps, APIs, AI services, and AI assisted operations to reduce complexity, organisations can now innovate faster across hybrid multicloud without increasing risk.
The team will also be on hand to talk about ‘red teaming’ in AI, a crucial proactive practice where specialised teams ethically attack and stress-test a model. They probe the system to discover and exploit weaknesses like prompt injection, data poisoning, toxicity, and harmful biases. The ultimate goal is to maximise AI safety and robustness by fixing these vulnerabilities before the system is deployed.
F5 recently bolstered its ADSP capabilities by closing the acquisition of CalypsoAI, a pioneer in enterprise AI security. CalypsoAI’s platform brings real time AI threat defence, red teaming at scale, and data security capabilities to enterprises deploying generative and agentic AI. These capabilities will be integrated into ADSP to provide a more comprehensive solution for securing AI inference.
F5 will also highlight its post-quantum cryptography readiness at the show. F5 is simplifying the shift to quantum-safe protections as the vendor providing a fully integrated, scalable platform for both application delivery and security. With comprehensive PQC support for both server-side and client-side encryption, and seamless integration across hybrid, multicloud, and legacy environments, the platform-based approach protects organisations’ apps, APIs, and data while optimising performance.
