F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) and Skyfire announced a technology partnership to integrate Skyfire’s Know Your Agent (KYA) protocol with F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform. The integration aims to let merchants distinguish verified AI agents from malicious bots, enable tokenized agent payments, and monetize agentic traffic.
The Skyfire integration with F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense will be available by April 30, 2026, and is designed to work within existing stacks with no re-platforming required.
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) and NVIDIA expanded their integration on March 17, 2026 to accelerate AI inference with BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes and NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs. Validated results show up to 40% higher token throughput, 61% faster time to first token, and 34% lower latency.
The joint solution offloads networking and security to DPUs, improves GPU utilization, supports multi-tenant AI platforms, and aims to lower cost per token without model changes.
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) announced new security capabilities within the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) on March 11, 2026, delivering AI-driven protections, unified zero trust access, and crypto-agile post-quantum readiness for hybrid multicloud and edge environments.
Key additions include F5 AI Remediate, AI-powered risk scoring in Distributed Cloud WAF, enhanced Distributed Cloud Bot Defense, BIG-IP Zero Trust Access, expanded API discovery options, and NIST-compliant PQC cipher support to help enterprises speed mitigation and prepare for quantum threats.
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) unveiled major enhancements to its Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) at AppWorld, including F5 Insight for ADSP for unified observability, agentic AI workload support, and future-ready cryptography. BIG-IP v21.1 adds post-quantum cipher support, AI workload protections, and a declarative API, targeted for general availability in Q2 2026. NGINX now offers MCP-powered agentic observability (open source GA), and Distributed Cloud Services are repackaged into simpler Essentials and Enterprise SaaS starter bundles to simplify deployments and reduce SKU complexity.
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) announced certified Red Hat OpenShift Operators for F5 AI Guardrails and F5 AI Red Team plus AI quickstarts to speed secure, on-premises AI deployments. The integrations use Kubernetes-native workflows and are available now via the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog and Red Hat AI quickstart catalog.
