F5 Networks has announced enhanced BIG-IP solution capabilities delivering
new security services for applications deployed in the cloud. Application
security provided by F5 Solutions, including BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager,
BIG-IP Edge Gateway, and BIG-IP Application Security Manager, ensure that
enterprise applications and data are safe even when deployed in the cloud. The
new BIG-IP Version 10.2 software enhances F5's security offerings, enabling
customers to lower infrastructure costs, optimize application access, and secure
applications in the enterprise and the cloud.

“Deploying applications in the cloud can create significant security
headaches for IT if the right supporting pieces aren't in place,” said Mark
Vondemkamp, Director-Product Management for Security, F5. “Administrations need
an integrated approach to application security-no matter where the applications
are deployed-to maintain access control standards when applications are deployed
in a cloud scenario,” he added.
