APIs are designed to extend functionality without the overhead costs of configuring additional security tools. This flexibility and the rapid pace of change often has unintended side effects, such as increasing your attack surface, exposing business logic and/or data leakage. Increased visibility, ownership, tooling and management of your APIs will help reduce the attack surface and help rationalize user behavior and mitigate business logic abuse and data breach. These are just a few of the outcomes that a successful API Security program should provide.

Web and Mobile Applications, by design, increase your attack surface and change rapidly in today's digital first economy. Increased visibility, ownership, tooling, and management of your APIs will help reduce the attack surface and help rationalize user behavior and mitigate business logic abuse and data breach — these are just a few of the outcomes that a successful API Security program should provide. Securing the enterprise, both on-premises and in the cloud, is a challenge in today's landscape.

Web applications are something every company has and needs to secure. We see headlines announcing the latest breach, yet this doesn't slow the pace to move business process to web applications. Gone are the days when a perimeter firewall was all a company needed to secure their applications. As changing business needs drive applications into the cloud, security needs change as well. In order to protect their vital applications, organizations must invest in robust applications protection model allowing for rapid development and repeatable security to protect the applications that drive modern business.

In this briefing, WWT will review the ways an F5 ELA (Enterprise License Agreement) can help transform and accelerate business agility and innovation. We will provide an overview of the on-demand licensing consumption model that is designed to increase flexibility of deployment when moving and securing workloads. WWT will share the details related to the EA+ program, which uses Software Advisory Services to help customers make informed decisions by creating a layout for ELA evaluation that considers business goals, strategies, current challenges, planned technology initiatives and financial implications.
