We use [F5] Shape [Security] to protect against automated threats to our digital environment, supplementing other F5 controls. We manage the deployment in the cybersecurity org for various IT assets.
- Strong anti-bot protection against middle-level threats
- Analysis and alerting on known problem areas
- Customer support - before and after installation, [F5] Shape [Security] has supported us actively to see the product realize value.
- On a technical side, we've had a lot of deployment issues. This is not a one-sprint solution.
- We ran into undocumented failure modes and had to rely on L2 and L3 customer support, delaying troubleshooting significantly [in our experience].
- Accurate log ingestion is a larger challenge than one would want in a security tool.
- [F5] Shape [Security] established a clear negative trend line in bot traffic to our retail site.
- [F5] Shape [Security's] anti-automation has moved our business out of reach for ROI for attackers.
- So far, [F5] Shape [Security] has not caused any incidents as a technology, and has stifled attacks which would have certainly landed as a Sev 2 without this protection.
Most customers don't see [F5] Shape [Security], and that's the point. It's certainly mitigated fraud on our platform by assisting in our battle with bots and credential stuffing. While possible to circumvent, [F5] Shape [Security] has certainly moved the bar up significantly for required technical expertise of a potential attacker. For an already somewhat bloated app, we don't see any performance impact, though it has caused significant uptick in log size given our initial "dumb" deployment.
