Overall Satisfaction with F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall)

So it's the upgraded version of ASM, which is the actual layer seven protection on applications. So what it does now with the cloud base and the way it's set up, distributed cloud, you have that now. Capabilities in the cloud are what happens. So anytime you need to protect an app or lockdown or do anything with that, that's where it comes into place. For layer seven.
  • So if an application is getting attacked, this can protect that application from hackers or DDoS or any of those other areas.
  • Actually right now there's not much because it's handling everything we need to within the layer seven suite. Probably just getting it out there more to the customers is the biggest thing. That's where it needs to be improved. Education.
  • Security is a big one. It locks it down your posture so that way your applications are getting owned pretty much.
They have made it way easier to do the older ASM modules. You had to tune it. It took weeks up to months, it took a while. This is a lot easier. They have a lot of learning that it can do itself, so it makes it easier.
Yes - We've done that for customers because we do it for customers, because we do PS. Actually, all those scenarios we've actually improved. So it works for hybrid cloud, different areas like that. So we've rolled this out for multiple different customers

So a lot of companies that have a digital side and they have a lot of applications in the cloud, this is one of those areas that it can protect the net so it can lock 'em down, it'll build a baseline so you understand what that application's doing. So if it sees something not normal, it'll get protected against that.
