F5 CTF: Tempest
F5 Tempest delivers an integrated approach to modern application security, empowering you to strengthen and protect your organization's critical systems. This game incorporates powerful capabilities across the F5 security and app‑delivery portfolio, offering a unique opportunity to test your skills against real-world threats targeting today's distributed applications.
Tools utilized within the game:
🔷F5 BIG‑IP Advanced WAF - Application inspection and exploit protection
🔷F5 NGINX - API and application delivery security
🔷F5 Distributed Cloud Services - Zero‑trust networking and hybrid app security
This mixed capture‑the‑flag event challenges your team to investigate the weakened DR environment, uncover vulnerabilities in the web application and AI chatbot, identify active threat actors, and implement controls to stop ongoing attacks. Points are awarded for identifying weaknesses, remediating exploits, and strengthening the compromised network.
API Service Agility With NGINX
With the rise in microservices that make up an application, the need to publish services via endpoint APIs to the world has increased exponentially. NGINX provides the agility and security necessary to facilitate reliable and high-performance delivery.
F5 BIG-IP Next Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNF)
This lab will guide and educate you on what the F5 BIG-IP Next Cloud-Native Network Functions are, how they are deployed with NVIDIA DOCA, and how they will ultimately help show the gains in offloading traffic to DPUs instead of tying up resources for your applications on the CPU of the physical K8 host.
