Automated security reconnaissance and penetration testing solution will be incorporated into F5 Distributed Cloud Services.
Technology acquired through Heyhack strengthens F5’s multicloud application security portfolio, enabling customers to automate vulnerability discovery.
Enabled by F5’s acquisition of Heyhack, these new capabilities mean F5 Distributed Cloud Services customers can easily scan for and discover vulnerabilities impacting their web applications.
Based on the automated scan results, F5 Distributed Cloud Services will recommend web application firewall rules and other appropriate remediations.
This technology further strengthens F5’s multicloud application security portfolio, enabling customers to automate vulnerability discovery.
“Companies face significant challenges of complexity, cost and risk in today’s highly distributed, multicloud environments. Heyhack complements F5’s broad portfolio of application and API protection solutions with automated penetration testing that simplifies discovery of application vulnerabilities,” said Kara Sprague, EVP and Chief Product Officer, F5.
“This powerful solution is another example of how F5 is making it significantly easier for customers to secure any app, any API, anywhere.”
F5 continues to introduce new automated capabilities into its Distributed Cloud Services.
At AppWorld 2024, F5 announced it was bringing API code testing and telemetry analysis to F5 Distributed Cloud Services – creating what was billed as the sector’s most comprehensive and AI-ready API security solution.
F5 also announced it is making AI pervasive across its entire solution portfolio with intelligent capabilities that help customers protect against sophisticated AI-powered threats – while making it easier to secure and manage multicloud application environments.
