F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in delivering and securing every app and API, and Oracle today announced a planned collaboration intended to bring next-generation web application and API protection (WAAP) to customers running applications on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Under the parties’ non-binding MOU, this planned collaboration is expected to help organizations protect critical applications and APIs against sophisticated attacks while helping reduce operational complexity, support continued innovation, and reduce reliance on specialized security expertise.
“As cyber threats evolve, our customers need application and API protection that keeps pace without adding operational complexity,” said kp Papamiltiadis, senior vice president, global partnerships, Oracle. “Together, we plan to bring F5’s application security expertise into OCI, helping customers protect critical applications and APIs while simplifying security operations, backed by Oracle’s cloud infrastructure and support.”
The collaboration is intended to support these key benefits:
- Protect critical applications and APIs against sophisticated attacks: Is expected to help organizations address advanced threats with F5’s proven web application and API protection technology, without requiring specialized security expertise.
- Simplify security operations: Is expected to provide application and API protection, helping teams secure workloads within their familiar cloud environment without adding operational complexity.
“AI-powered attacks can find and exploit vulnerabilities faster than enterprises can patch them. Oracle and F5 see AI runtime defense as the answer for cloud teams, allowing for virtual patching that shields exposed systems while teams catch up on remediation,” said John Maddison, chief marketing officer, F5. “Through the planned integration of F5’s application security technology into OCI, we intend to provide security, application, and platform teams with a proven, straightforward way to help protect their critical workloads with next-generation solutions powered by F5—without adding operational friction.”
