\n\tThrough a continuous, adaptive loop approach to governing, discovering, testing, and protecting enterprise AI workloads, the new platform is designed to extend F5\u2019s Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) strategy to enterprise AI. As a global cybersecurity leader, F5 recognised the AI deployment realities of large enterprises, building the F5 AI Security Platform to support on-premises, air-gapped, private cloud, hybrid, and public cloud environments. This is intended to give organisations greater control over AI security where data residency, sovereignty, and operational requirements are non-negotiable.<\/p>\n
\n\tAI systems now operate with more access, autonomy, and speed than even the most over-privileged human users, creating new risks for security teams and business leaders. A prompt injection, data leak, or agent acting beyond its authorised scope can expose sensitive information, disrupt operations, and erode customer trust.<\/p>\n
\n\tAt the same time, employees are adopting unauthorised tools and unsanctioned integrations, creating shadow AI footprints that most security teams cannot see, let alone govern. According to F5\u2019s 2026 State of Application Strategy (SOAS) Report, 88% of organisations report at least one AI-related operational or security challenge.<\/p>\n
\n\tSurePath AI: Closing the AI visibility gap<\/p>\n
\n\tThe addition of SurePath AI powers the F5 AI Security Platform\u2019s approach to network-based AI discovery, identifying AI usage across the enterprise, including shadow AI, without requiring direct application integrations. With frictionless deployment through network redirects and out-of-band analysis, SurePath AI gives security teams a unified visibility layer that detects unauthorised AI activity, classifies the intent behind each workflow, and continuously traces agent tool calls and MCP server connections. This visibility feeds directly into the F5 AI Security Platform, informing the risks to be tested by F5 AI Red Team and mitigated by F5 AI Guardrails.<\/p>\n
\n\tDelivering a continuous cycle of protection<\/p>\n
\n\tThe F5 AI Security Platform addresses AI risk through four integrated pillars and an overarching observability layer that creates a persistent security lifecycle rather than a one-time compliance exercise. Features include:<\/p>\n
\n\tAI governance: Translate specific risk tolerances, privacy requirements, and regulatory obligations into enforceable boundaries for AI prompts, outputs, tool use, and data access.<\/p>\n
\n\tAI discovery: Gain continuous visibility into every AI application, agent, and MCP tool call running across the enterprise, whether sanctioned or not. The platform classifies activity by use case and intent, so teams know not just what is running but why. SurePath AI\u2019s network-based discovery does this passively, with no application-level integration required.<\/p>\n
\n\tAI security testing: Stress-test AI systems against more than 140,000 attack patterns from the deepest AI threat database in the industry before those systems reach production, converting findings directly into enforceable defences.<\/p>\n
\n\tAI runtime protection: Define guardrails in plain language and deploy them at the point of interaction, where the platform has demonstrated up to 98.2% security efficacy in independent testing, blocking prompt injection, excessive agent autonomy, and data leakage.<\/p>\n
\n\tAI observability: Provide a complete audit trail across every AI interaction on the platform, maintaining the accountability and traceability that regulated industries require.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe flexibility to deploy anywhere without compromise<\/p>\n
\n\tWith this new solution, F5 uniquely combines AI security capabilities with flexible deployment options, enabling enterprises to operate across on-premises, air-gapped, private cloud, hybrid, and public cloud deployments. This is especially valuable to CISOs in highly regulated industries with exacting data residency and sovereignty requirements. SurePath AI\u2019s lightweight network-based deployment model reinforces this flexibility, requiring no changes to existing application architectures.<\/p>\n
\n\tHeightened visibility is increasingly critical as AI agents proliferate. F5\u2019s 2026 SOAS Report states 98% of organisations are preparing for agentic AI, but the speed of agent adoption is outpacing the controls designed to manage it. When agents can authenticate, call tools, access data, and take actions autonomously, the blast radius of a single misconfiguration or exploit grows exponentially.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMost AI security today is a wrapper around a chatbot. That is not security. Enterprises run AI inside regulated networks, behind APIs, and across agents that authenticate and act on their own. The F5 AI Security Platform gives CISOs and security leaders what they have been missing: continuous control over every model, agent, and API, wherever the AI runs, delivered on the same F5 platform that has secured and delivered enterprise applications for three decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
