F5 and Oracle announced a planned collaboration to bring next-generation web application and API protection to OCI customers.
The collaboration is covered by a non-binding MOU between the parties.
It is intended to help organizations protect critical applications and APIs against sophisticated attacks while reducing operational complexity.
The planned work is expected to support innovation and reduce reliance on specialized security expertise.
F5's technology is intended to let teams secure workloads within their familiar cloud environment without adding operational complexity.
F5 sees AI runtime defense as the answer for cloud teams, enabling virtual patching that shields exposed systems while teams catch up on remediation.
"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."
"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."
