F5, specialists in delivering and securing every app and API, has announced its intent to acquire a pioneer in enterprise AI security. CalypsoAI\u2019s platform brings real-time threat defence, red teaming at scale and data security to enterprises racing to deploy generative and agentic AI.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capabilities will be integrated into the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) to create the most complete solution for securing AI inference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAI is redefining enterprise architecture \u2013 and the attack surface companies must defend,\u201d said Fran\u00e7ois Locoh-Donou, President and CEO of F5. \u201cTraditional firewalls and point solutions can\u2019t keep up. The addition of CalypsoAI will give enterprises the confidence to innovate faster and better protect critical data as they rely on F5 to deliver and secure apps, APIs, and AI models across their environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprises are rapidly embedding AI into products and operations, but the new AI stack \u2013 spanning applications, agents, APIs, models and data stores \u2013 creates a new and highly dynamic attack surface. Traditional controls are not keeping pace with sophisticated new threats, while mounting regulatory pressure alongside the spread of shadow AI usage heightens risk and compliance gaps. Security teams need a purpose-built and model-agnostic approach that provides guardrails for how AI interacts with data, users, and threats and provides centralised visibility across their infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their recent Market Guide on AI Trust, Risk and Security Management (TRiSM), Gartner states, \u201cThe AI TRiSM market is distinguished by its independence from frontier model provider solutions that also support trust risk and security management. Enterprises must retain independence from any single AI model or hosting provider to ensure scalability, flexibility, cost control and trust, as AI markets rapidly mature and change.\u201d 1<\/sup><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F5 is aiming to tackle this need with CalypsoAI\u2019s adaptive AI security capabilities that deliver proactive and continuous AI protection regardless of model or cloud, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
