F5 ASM/AWAF Training

24 hours
F5 Application Security Module (ASM) and Advanced Web Application Firewall (AWAF) secure web applications against unknown vulnerabilities, enable compliance with key regulatory mandates and protect applications from malicious and abusive bot traffic. Successful deployment of these solutions requires a cycle of policy development that minimizes false positives, while still maintaining an appropriate level of security. F5 administrators must understand the policy development process, as well as the security tradeoffs that are required to protect applications.
