F5 RESEARCH : THE STATE OF APPLICATION STRATEGY
For example , F5 has been embedding AI into our solutions for many , many years now . Our anti-bot solution , for example , is using very sophisticated machine learning based on signals from client devices and browsers in order to decipher if the application traffic is coming from an automation , like a bot , or a human , and also if it ' s good or bad . That ' s one application of AI .
We see a lot of other very interesting applications of AI technologies . We use it , also , in our API security solutions . We just talked about the acquisition of Heyhack . Heyhack is using AI , also ,
From F5 ’ s 2024 State of Application Strategy research , 88 % of organisations deploy their apps and APIs across hybrid environments that span on-prem and cloud locations . Nearly two in five organisations operate apps and APIs across six different environments .
In short , hybrid and multicloud distributed environments are the new normal . No single app environment is perfect for every application , so businesses are embracing the flexibility that hybrid and multicloud infrastructures deliver . As Deloitte reported , “ multicloud may feel messy , but it ’ s the world we ’ re living in and likely will be for the foreseeable future .” cybermagazine . com 25
