F5, the global leader in delivering and securing every app and API, will showcase its ability to completely converge app, API, and AI security with industry leading, high-performance application delivery and traffic management at AI Everything MEA Egypt on February 11-12.
Some 96% of organisations are deploying AI models, yet only 2% are “highly ready” to scale AI securely, according to F5’s 2025 State of AI Application Strategy Report. And, while AI tools are more autonomous than ever, operational readiness gaps still exist. 60% of organisations feel bogged down by manual workflows, and 54% claim skill shortages are barriers to AI development.
Amid these challenges, the need for an integrated approach has never been clearer, and the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) is central to addressing and optimising the opportunities ahead. Announced last year, it is the industry’s most advanced solution to help organisations secure and deliver all applications, including those powered by AI, and address the complexities of hybrid multicloud infrastructures and their ever-evolving security and performance challenges.
“Modern AI applications push the boundaries of complexity and innovation,” said Bassem Saleh, Senior Regional Sales Manager, Africa at F5. “With decades of expertise in application delivery and security and strong technology alliance partnerships, F5 ensures AI workflows operate flawlessly, scale seamlessly, and remain resilient against evolving threats.
“At AI Everything Cairo, we will demonstrate how the F5 ADSP empowers Egyptian enterprises to consolidate the critical services essential for protecting the modern digital economy,” Saleh added. “From the edge to the cloud, our goal is to ensure that every app and API benefits from unparalleled reliability and availability. As Egypt accelerates its digital transformation, F5 provides the consistent, comprehensive security needed to address the complex cyber threats of today and tomorrow, alongside the intelligent orchestration required to optimise performance for the most intensive AI workloads.”
In January, F5 announced general availability of two AI security solutions, F5 AI Guardrails and F5 AI Red Team, within the ADSP. These industry-leading solutions are developed specifically to secure enterprise AI systems at runtime. F5 also publishes the Comprehensive AI Security Index and Agentic Resistance Scoring Leaderboards, to assist enterprises in evaluating AI model security and resilience.
F5 AI Guardrails provides a model-agnostic runtime security layer designed to protect every AI model, app and agent, across every cloud and deployment environment, with consistent policy enforcement. As the number of AI models grows into the millions, AI Guardrails delivers consistent protection against adversarial threats such as prompt injection and jailbreak attacks, prevents sensitive data leakage, and enforces corporate and regulatory obligations.
F5 AI Red Team delivers scalable, automated adversarial testing that simulates both common and obscure threat vectors, powered by the industry’s preeminent AI vulnerability database—adding over 10,000 new attack techniques every month as real-world threats evolve.
These pioneering security offerings align with customer needs for flexible deployment, model-agnostic protection, and the ability to tailor and adapt AI security policies in real time—drawing on F5’s deep expertise at the application layer, where AI interactions occur.
