Secure applications from intrusions
The F5 application security solution recognizes and stops attacks before they can reach your applications. By enforcing a positive security model that allows only “known-good” transactions, F5 safeguards against unauthorized access and malicious traffic of every kind, whether the perpetrator is a serious hacker or a student prankster.
Provide secure remote access to students and staff
Using F5 secure remote access capabilities, students and workers can access applications and data from any device or network.
The solution requires only a standard web browser and gives administrators granular policy control, simplifying administration to reduce deployment and management costs.
