New AI-powered data leak detection and prevention features help protect sensitive data in real time, blocking unauthorized exposure and ensuring compliance.
The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) introduces high levels of visibility into encrypted traffic, enabling protection against Shadow AI.
The Enhanced F5 AI Gateway provides inline data classification, policy enforcement, and protection against the threats of new large-scale language models (LLM).

Seattle– (Business Wire) – F5 (NASDAQ:FFIV) announces new AI-driven features for F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), the global leader in delivery and security of all apps and APIs. These updates provide organizations with advanced tools to protect sensitive data and manage AI-powered applications, including the F5 AI Gateway extensions, prevent data leakage and provide cutting-edge AI data protection. Additionally, new features from the F5 BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator have been introduced to classify and protect encrypted data in motion, blocking unauthorized AI use.

F5 ADSP is the industry's most advanced solution for securing and delivering all applications, including AI-powered applications, addressing the complexity of hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure and the ever-evolving security and performance challenges. These enhancements reaffirm F5's commitment to protecting modern, AI-driven infrastructure by enabling organizations to safely optimize, scale and tune AI applications.

Address the latest data protection challenges

As businesses adopt AI and hybrid cloud technologies, sensitive data travels across encrypted traffic and unauthorized AI tools, creating security blind spots. Traditional security methods struggle to detect or prevent data leaks from these complex environments. F5 answers this challenge with tools that enable organizations of all sizes to achieve key compliance and security outcomes.

Detect, classify, and stop data leaks of encrypted and AI-driven traffic in real time.
Prevents the risk of unauthorized use of AI (shadow AI) and sensitive data exposure.
Enforce consistent policies across applications, APIs, and AI services to maintain security and compliance.

“The central tension in all boardrooms today is the competition to adopt delegations to protect AI and company data,” said Kunal Anand, F5's Chief Innovation Officer. “Forcing a choice between the two is a losing strategy. It eliminates that choice. By providing deep visibility into encrypted AI conversations, it gives leaders control to stop data leaks and stop AI use, effectively turning CISOs from gatekeepers to key enablers of secure innovation.”

New features and features of F5 AI Gateway

Data leak detection and prevention features will be coming to the F5 AI gateway, which is planned for the quarter, powered by technology F5, which was recently acquired from Leaksignal. This new feature examines AI prompts and responses to sensitive data such as personal information, applies customer-defined policies, and edits, blocks, or logs.

With the integration and continuous development of this AI data protection technology, F5 expands its ability to inspect data in transit and applies policies to protect sensitive information before leaving the network. This addition simplifies compliance and reduces risk across hybrid and multicloud deployments.

Important new features include:

Real-time detection of sensitive data during AI interactions.
Enforce policy to protect and edit sensitive data when entering an AI environment, and protect data before leaving an approved environment.
Detailed reports and audit logs integrated into the SIEM tool.

These updates can directly address risks, such as leaking sensitive data when using AI systems, and help organizations maintain compliance requirements.

f5 big-ip ssl orchestrator extends to manage AI risk

To address the risks posed by Shadow AI, F5 is announcing plans to strengthen its BIG-IP SSL orchestrators to provide AI data protection by providing real-time visibility into encrypted traffic flows. This approach allows organizations to detect, classify, and block the use and sharing of sensitive data in transit to allow certified traffic and force companies to use AI technology to accept acceptable use while still maintaining compliance. This solution provides unparalleled visibility into AI data flows by decrypting encrypted traffic at scale to enhance inspections without loss of performance, providing centralized dashboards and reporting for auditing and investigations with planned availability for the second half of 2025.
