To allow as many Symposium attendees as possible access to Track 5 content, it will be made available in both virtual and in-person formats. The sessions included in this track are specially curated content meant for senior IT leaders, project managers, C-level executives, cybersecurity professionals, and engineers that aren't interested in certification boot camps. This quick hitting, diverse content will touch on relevant topics ranging from securing applications across all your cloud environments with one WAF, overcoming challenges that result from deploying apps across distributed locations, cloud providers and environments, how to streamline your BIG-IP upgrades and migrations with Journey, an overview of F5's next gen platforms, and finally a look at automating and accelerating your app services.
Sessions Include:
F5 One WAF
It's an evolving struggle to protect your apps and mitigate the threats against them. Every time the "good guys" step up our game, attackers try, and sometimes succeed, to leapfrog the enhancements. How can you ensure that your applications remain protected with a baseline of security-including a web application firewall (WAF), denial-of-service (DoS) attack protection, and now API protection-that will serve as a sturdy, dependable foundation for your application layer security defense? Learn how F5's application layer security portfolio provides the sturdy, formidable foundation required to address today's always growing, sophisticated application threat landscape. See how F5's powerful one WAF engine enables the robust, innovative application protection you need in the consumption and deployment modes you want, addressing the application models you use-whenever and wherever you need it.
Deliver SaaS with Distributed Cloud
Many organizations are struggling deploying apps across distributed locations, cloud providers and environments. These implementations trigger operational complexity and introduce security concerns, compliance requirements and lack of visibility across environments. F5 Distributed Cloud Services are a suite of SaaS-based security, networking, and application management services to address - and overcome - all these challenges. This session will discuss in detail this new offering and provide a product walk-thru and demo.

BIG-IP Next Generation Overview
It's no secret that application portfolios, the environments they're deployed in, and the tools and processes surrounding them are evolving at an unprecedented pace, becoming increasingly complex, multi-faceted and autonomous in nature. Naturally, to continue meeting your application delivery and security requirements, F5 BIG-IP must adapt too. In this session, we'll introduce the next generation BIG-IP software-BIG-IP Next Gen -which will offer greater automatability, scalability and ease of use. With a modern, API-first and lighter weight software architecture, BIG-IP Next Gen is designed to exceed the needs of teams operating large, complex, and highly orchestrated application portfolios spanning distributed environments. It's the same BIG-IP you know and trust, simply designed and rearchitected for the future.
Automate and Accelerate App Services
As IT solutions become more complex and diversified across multiple cloud environments streamlining deployments, standardizing on base configurations, and increasing deployment efficiency, automation has become a crucial element in accelerating the delivery of applications. In this session we'll discuss a number of tools including F5's AS3, Ansible, Terraform, Github along with best practices on how to leverage automation in your environment.
