Silverline Shape Defense improves a user’s
online experience and security by defeating automated attacks that
lead to online fraud and abuse
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) today unveiled Silverline Shape Defense, a
security solution that protects websites from the rising tide of
fake internet traffic. With this new fully managed service,
customers can better focus on their users and safeguard businesses
against bots, credential stuffing, scraping, and other automated
attacks that result in fraud and abuse—leading to compromised
efficiency, loss of revenue, and damage to the brand.
Silverline Shape Defense uses artificial intelligence to
accurately determine in real-time if an application request is from
a human or a bot, and further differentiate between a bad actor and
authorized individual. This approach stops bad traffic without
introducing login friction for legitimate users. Businesses benefit
from reduced online fraud losses, lowered operating costs, and an
improved user experience. Silverline Shape Defense leverages the
power of the entire Shape network which blocks over one billion
application attacks a day.
With the launch of Silverline Shape Defense, customers can now
protect their applications with an integrated, comprehensive set of
fully managed security solutions that also include Silverline DDoS
Protection, Silverline Web Application Firewall, and Silverline
Threat Intelligence.
“The addition of Shape Defense on Silverline will allow our
customers to protect their applications and digital initiatives
against malicious cyberattacks without the overhead of a large
security team, like those at a typical Fortune 500 company,” said
Gail Coury, Silverline VP and GM at F5. “F5’s Silverline managed
security services improve not only application security and
performance but also bridge the resources gap of skilled
cybersecurity professionals that are needed to address the latest
cyber threats in real-time.”
Silverline Shape Defense helps organizations protect their
applications quickly and easily. The solution:
- Can be deployed in 30 minutes or less, without advanced
application security expertise
- Determines if login attempts are being made by real users
instead of bots
- Is entirely seamless and transparent to real users
- Features an easy-to-use admin interface that illuminates site
traffic and how it is being protected
- Offers an entirely cloud-based solution as a fully managed
service: no hardware, nothing to install, and always up to
date
F5 Silverline Managed Services deliver expert protection to
businesses around the world, including the following benefits:
- Comprehensive application security, including industry-leading
anti-bot, WAF, and DDoS services from a single vendor
- Simplified buying, deployment, and ongoing support, including
24x7 Security Operations Center resources
- One integrated portal provides a single view for all Silverline
services, including configuration proxy and routing, visibility
into threat details, attack analytics, and actions taken by SOC
experts
- A global application security footprint, with F5 Silverline
Managed Services local points of presence in geographies around the
world
In January, F5 completed its acquisition of Shape Security to
add protection from automated attacks, botnets, and targeted fraud
to F5’s portfolio of application services. Silverline Shape Defense
is the first deliverable in a long-term strategy to provide Shape
services to organizations of all sizes and in various
industries.
