How to prioritize application security? F5 will make a grand appearance at the Beijing Cybersecurity Conference

During the "2019 Beijing Internet Security Conference" to be held at the Beijing National Convention Center from August 21st to 23rd, global application delivery manufacturer F5 will appear at the exhibition with an unprecedented lineup, and for the first time fully display its application security solutions and deeply analyze the way of application security.

Network and security have always been issues that go hand in hand. With the rapid iteration of technology and the deepening of digital transformation of enterprises, applications are deployed in large numbers in the business architecture of enterprises, becoming the "assistant" for their business development. On the other hand, network security incidents are also emerging in an endless stream, and application security often becomes a "weak link".

The high level of attention paid to security illustrates the complex changes in the security environment. At the beginning of the year, F5 pointed out in its 2019 Application Service Status Report that 69% of the companies surveyed worldwide are undergoing digital transformation and are paying more attention to exploring the value of application data. Applications are becoming important digital assets with their convenience, flexibility, efficiency and speed.

Another important fact is that the shift of enterprise IT architecture to the cloud has increased the complexity of technical architecture deployment, operation and maintenance, and security protection, especially in hybrid cloud and multi-cloud architecture environments. Among them, a typical scenario is that enterprises often feel "powerless" when facing new network attacks. In this regard, F5 security experts pointed out that traditional security architecture has many disadvantages such as the invisibility of encrypted traffic security devices, tight coupling of security devices, all traffic flowing through all devices, and high operation and maintenance troubleshooting costs, making it difficult to fight new security threats. The security solutions provided by F5 to customers can not only calmly deal with security threats, but also achieve a four-way balance of protecting applications, improving efficiency, optimizing experience and controlling costs.

During the exhibition, F5 will focus on the theme of "application services, security first", and provide a lot of technical information to the industry and users from the aspects of application threat types and characteristics, application security concepts and technical architecture, and six in-depth scenarios. According to the conference agenda, on the afternoon of August 22, F5 security experts will bring a salon on the theme of "security business performance optimization based on encrypted traffic precision strategy" and a roadshow activity in the exhibition area for the full solution of F5 application security solutions. In the booth area located at B3B11, there will be rich interactions throughout the whole process, leading the audience to unlock application security more intuitively.

It is reported that the Beijing Cyber ​​Security Conference (BSC 2019) is hosted by the domestic Internet security company Qi'anxin. As one of the most influential annual events in the industry, the conference will gather more than 100 top cyber security companies and more than 1,000 top global security experts to present rich and cutting-edge innovative concepts and technological achievements. A grand event for cyber security industry exchanges is about to begin. F5 will also be waiting for tens of thousands of visitors.
