Securing and Modernizing Public Sector Applications with F5 & WWT

 

Public sector organizations are up against a myriad of digital challenges, from connecting with their constituents to making sure employees have what they need to be effective.

 

 

Cybersecurity


Defend Against the Expanding Public Sector Attack Surface

There were 5,199 public sector data breaches between 2022 and 2023. Mitigating these attacks requires agencies to employ compliant, automated application security solutions that defend the expansive attack surface both at and beyond the perimeter.

F5 solutions protect across environments, at the perimeter, and through privileged user access. They meet global standards, like the U.S. Department of Defense SCCA standard, and feature industry-leading compliance with FIPS 140-2, the CSfC Program, and Common Criteria.

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.
