Built-in privacy and data sovereignty means you can keep AI data in your environment across deployments.
Gain full visibility into AI decisions
Explain every AI decision with logic into why prompts are allowed or blocked, how attacks work, and where risks are trending.
Continuously strengthen AI security
Apply security that evolves. Find and fix AI vulnerabilities early and adapt defenses as attacks and regulations change.
Explore AI security use cases
AI runtime security
AI runtime security
As AI systems move from pilot to production, new threats emerge daily, from supply chain risks and model hallucinations to malicious user behavior.
F5 helps enterprises secure and govern AI interactions across every environment with layered protections that span training, pre-production, and runtime. They can protect large language models (LLMs), AI applications, and agents from prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, and other adversarial attacks with runtime controls that inspect and enforce policy across AI interactions.
Teams gain the flexibility to adapt defenses quickly as AI threats, usage patterns, technologies, and business needs continuously evolve.

Frequently asked questions
Security for AI focuses on protecting AI applications, models, agents, and data from AI-specific threats such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, and model misuse. AI for Security uses AI techniques to improve traditional security operations, such as faster threat detection or automated triage. F5 prioritizes security for AI by delivering runtime protection, custom guardrails, and automated testing across any environment—ensuring AI systems are secure, compliant, and trustworthy at scale.
AI security solutions protect against prompt injection and jailbreak attacks by enforcing runtime guardrails that inspect prompts, context, tool calls, and outputs in real time. F5 applies layered defenses that detect malicious intent, block policy bypass attempts, and prevent unauthorized data access—without retraining models. Automated red teaming continuously tests new attack patterns and translates findings into active protections, allowing defenses to adapt as threats evolve.
AI agents introduce expanded risk because they can take actions, call tools, access APIs, and interact with sensitive systems autonomously. Unlike traditional LLMs that generate responses, agents can be manipulated to misuse privileges, exfiltrate data, or execute unintended actions. F5 secures AI agents with consistent policy enforcement, runtime visibility, and guardrails across models, tools, and integrations—reducing blast radius while enabling safe automation.
AI-driven security operations deliver faster detection, lower operational overhead, and reduced incident impact compared to traditional SIEM. Instead of relying on static rules and manual analysis, AI security solutions automate vulnerability discovery, prioritize real risk, and adapt defenses in real time. With F5, organizations reduce costly retraining cycles, limit data leakage and downtime, and accelerate secure AI adoption—delivering measurable ROI through lower risk and higher operational efficiency.
Yes. AI security solutions defend against adversarial data poisoning by monitoring AI interactions, detecting anomalous behavior, and validating inputs and outputs against defined policies. F5 enables teams to identify poisoning risks across training, fine-tuning, and inference pipelines, then enforce controls at runtime. Automated testing and explainable insights help teams detect manipulation early and prevent corrupted data from degrading model integrity or business outcomes.
