F5 is a multi-cloud application services and security company committed to bringing a better digital world to life. F5 partners with the world’s largest, most advanced organizations to secure and optimize every app and API anywhere—on premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. F5 enables organizations to provide exceptional, secure digital experiences for their customers and continuously stay ahead of threats.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organisations are increasingly harnessing the power of edge computing to drive innovation and maintain a competitive advantage. By bringing computational resources closer to the source of data generation, edge computing minimises latency and reduces bandwidth use, leading to more efficient operations.

As AI-driven applications proliferate, the adoption of edge computing is set to accelerate due to its ability to synthesise and analyse data at unprecedented speeds. This trend underscores the importance of understanding and embracing edge strategies to stay at the forefront of technological advancement.

 In this webinar, our experts will cover:

- Business drivers and technical requirements for edge computing
- Traditional solutions vs. novel approaches
- Deploying, managing, and protecting applications at the edge
- Practical approaches to Edge AI and federated learning

Join us to gain actionable insights and solutions for effectively managing the edge ecosystem

AI on the Edge

The rise of AI is not all hype and frenzy. There are real implications – for productivity and competitiveness, for governance and compliance, and for security.

Cyber security is a principal concern for those tasked with delivering AI services. Generative AI and other AI toolkits are becoming prime attack surfaces for cyber criminals, who are both targeting AI and leveraging AI for malicious gains.

It is imperative that architects and security teams unpack the massive risk surface for AI applications.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- AI app architectures: Deploying and protecting AI apps across distributed environments

- AI security issues: Addressing new threats such as prompt injection attacks, data leakage, and OWASP Top 10 for LLM Apps

- App services for AI security: Leveraging solutions such as API security, DDoS protection, and bot defence
