AI-Powered WAF for F5 Distributed Cloud WAF helps teams move from configuration-heavy, signature-by-signature tuning to outcome-based enforcement—so you can run WAF in blocking mode sooner, reduce operational friction, and improve detection while keeping false positives low.
Risk Scoring does not replace WAF signatures. It complements signatures by evaluating multiple signals per request - signatures, attack indicators, and ML-based classification, assigning each request a High / Medium / Low risk level.
The shift is operational: instead of asking teams to interpret individual signatures and their tuning tradeoffs, Risk Scoring provides an enforcement-ready outcome.
