This F5 white paper details how Distributed Cloud API Security provides full lifecycle protection for APIs across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. APIs, often outnumbering applications, create large attack surfaces and are prime targets for exploits, misconfigurations, and data leakage. The platform combines automated API discovery, schema validation, anomaly detection, WAF enforcement, and ML-driven behavioral analysis to secure both known and shadow APIs. Capabilities include sensitive data masking, JWT validation, access control, rate limiting, and Layer 7 DoS mitigation. By integrating discovery, testing, and protection, it ensures compliance, reduces risk, and strengthens resilience against API-specific threats.
