F5 has announced the general availability of F5 AI Guardrails and F5 AI Red Team, solutions designed to enhance AI security through continuous feedback, proactive threat detection, and centralised governance, providing organisations with greater confidence when deploying AI systems.
Kunal Anand, chief product officer at F5, said: “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 organisations to stop fearing risk and start shipping apps and features with confidence,” he added.
F5 AI Guardrails and F5 AI Red Team
Adding F5 AI Guardrails and F5 AI Red Team with traditional infrastructure protection (API security, web application firewalls, and DDoS defences) allows enterprises to use AI systems alongside existing applications.
F5 AI Guardrails provides a model-agnostic runtime security layer that protects AI models, apps, and agents across every cloud and deployment environment, with consistent policy enforcement.
It aims to protect against adversarial threats such as prompt injection and jailbreak attacks, prevent sensitive data leakage, and enforce corporate and regulatory obligations, including GDPR and the EU AI Act.
A key feature of F5 AI Guardrails is its in-depth observability and auditability of AI inputs and outputs, providing detailed context for model decisions and enhancing transparency and compliance efforts.
F5 AI Red Team provides scalable, automated adversarial testing that simulates both common and obscure threat vectors. This testing can identify areas where models may produce dangerous or unpredictable outputs. The insights gained from this process directly inform AI Guardrails policies, enabling defences to adapt as threats and models evolve.
Both solutions are already deployed at leading Fortune 500 enterprises across multiple industries globally. They are available now as part of the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform.
