F5 has announced the general availability of F5 AI Guardrails and F5 AI Red Team, two advanced security offerings designed to help enterprises protect mission-critical AI systems with comprehensive runtime defenses and continuous adversarial testing, making F5 the only vendor currently offering a full end-to-end AI security lifecycle solution that supports both out-of-the-box and customizable guardrails for AI agents across environments. These solutions address a rapidly evolving risk landscape as organizations scale AI adoption where traditional governance struggles to keep pace with threats such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, and regulatory compliance demands by leveraging F5’s application-layer expertise to deliver model-agnostic real-time protection, deep observability of AI inputs and outputs, and consistent policy enforcement across clouds and deployment models. “Traditional enterprise governance cannot keep up with the velocity of AI,” said Kunal Anand, Chief Product Officer at F5. “When policy lags adoption, you get data leaks and unpredictable model behavior. Organizations need defenses that are as dynamic as the models themselves. F5 AI Guardrails secures the traffic in real time, turning a black box into a transparent system, while F5 AI Red Team proactively finds vulnerabilities before they reach production. This allows organizations to stop fearing risk and start shipping apps and features with confidence.”

By pairing AI Guardrails’ real-time security layer with AI Red Team’s scalable automated adversarial testing drawing on an industry-leading AI vulnerability database that evolves with emerging threats F5 creates a continuous feedback loop of proactive assurance, adaptive enforcement and centralized governance that integrates with traditional protections such as API security, web application firewalls and DDoS defenses. This unified approach not only helps enterprises maintain visibility and policy consistency without fragmented point tools, but it also supports regulatory obligations including GDPR and the EU AI Act, giving organizations greater confidence to deploy AI across customer experiences, internal workflows and high-risk decision-making environments. Both solutions are available now as part of the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform, reflecting F5’s broader leadership in securing modern applications, APIs and AI systems at scale.
