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 AI Gateway

This lab will provide access to an Openshift cluster running the F5 AI Gateway solution. We will walk through how the F5 AI Gateway routes requests to different models by either allowing them to pass through or, more importantly, securing them via prompt injection checking. We have also added a couple of other tests that will allow for language detection of that input that the F5 AI Gateway can also detect.

Practical API Security: Discover, Defend, and Secure APIs from Code to Runtime

This lab provides a hands-on introduction to API security and visibility using F5 Distributed Cloud Web App and API Protection (XC WAAP). As APIs continue to grow in number and complexity, they have become a primary target for cyberattacks. This lab explores how to discover, document, and secure both known and shadow APIs using the platform's API Discovery, Schema Validation, and Security Dashboards. Participants will learn how to: Send traffic through the F5 HTTPS Load Balancer to trigger API Discovery and the API Crawler Automatically generate and maintain an API inventory, including undocumented shadow APIs Apply OpenAPI Schema Validation to enforce API conformity and detect anomalies Gain deep insights through advanced API Security Dashboards, including threat levels, sensitive data exposure, authentication status, and risk scores Understand the importance of integrating DevSecOps practices by leveraging IaC and GitHub Actions for API protection deployment By the end of this lab, users will gain critical visibility into their API ecosystem, identify vulnerabilities, and take actionable steps to secure both documented and undocumented APIs—helping to bring shadow APIs into the light.
