Why Security and Performance Solutions are Critical for Financial Services

Facing evolving security risks, poor performance at scale, costly cybersecurity audits, and the complexities of digital transformation, financial services organizations must align their adaptive application capabilities to support modern business.

It's increasingly clear that success depends on a modern application approach. F5 and WWT can help. 

Safegaurding Data and Customer Trust

Financial services data is amongst the most sought-after types of data by cyberattackers. That's why it's more critical than ever to secure and safeguard your applications and the data within them, without stifling innovation. F5 solutions guard against application exploits—web-based or mobile, deployed on premises or in the cloud—and build security measures directly into your CI/CD pipeline.

Meet Profitability Goals by Improving Application and Network Performance

A FinServ organization's profitability is directly impacted by poor application and network performance. Keeping apps and networks running fast and reliably is a minimum requirement for doing business in today's digital world.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional and App Connect Deployment Mode

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge and App Connect Deployment mode. This deployment model offers an optimal solution for scenarios where backend applications are inaccessible from the internet, lacking a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP. In this case Customer Edge sites can be deployed to connect these "private" customer sites to the XC Global Network via IPSEC tunnels opened from Distributed Cloud Customer Edges to the closes two REs sites. Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the Internet through anycast IPs. Customer Edges are being deployed on the customer sites and connect to the closest RE and traffic will be inspected by the WAAF security policy. The traffic will then be forwarded across the distributed cloud global network towards an egress Regional Edge and then over an IPSEC tunnel to the Customer edge site where it will be forwarded to the backend applications as pure IP-based traffic.

Ansible Automation Workshop - F5 BIG-IP Ansible Lab

This lab focuses on using Ansible to efficiently manage F5 BigIP configurations. It covers setting up the development environment, working with Ansible inventory, creating playbooks for automating tasks on F5 BigIP devices, deploying configuration changes, and a bonus challenge of setting up an Active/Standby configuration and performing configuration synchronization. The lab aims to provide participants with hands-on experience in automating F5 BigIP configuration management using Ansible.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional Deployment Mode

This WWT Lab will provide a hand on experience of F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge in deployment mode. This deployment mode is better suited when protecting backend applications which are already public accessible from the internet via FQDN or Public IP. F5 Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the internet through anycast IPs. The end users will connect to their closest Regional Edge and the traffic will be inspected by the WAF security policy. The traffic will then be forwarded across the XC Global Network towards an egress Regional Edge and then towards the customer site as regular internet traffic. The customer will filter the traffic, only allowing traffic forwarded by the XC platform.
