This F5 whitepaper explains how Distributed Cloud WAAP with API Security protects modern applications across the full API lifecycle. APIs, often outnumbering apps, expand the attack surface and expose sensitive data. Key capabilities include continuous API discovery (to uncover shadow and zombie APIs), schema validation, sensitive data detection and masking, DoS protection, WAF signatures, JWT validation, and behavioral anomaly detection powered by AI/ML. It strengthens authentication, enforces positive security models, and centralizes visibility with dashboards for risk scoring and compliance. Delivered as a SaaS, it simplifies governance, enhances resilience, and supports secure digital innovation.
