F5 Air Force TechTalk: Cybersecurity for Critical Air Force Applications

Join F5 Networks, VMware, CDWG, and Carahsoft to discuss how to operationalize application cybersecurity protections and L4-L7 services necessary to meet the performance, security and reliability demands of Air Force applications in a JIE environment. Learn how increase security, reduce complexity, and help the Air Force to support consolidation, cloud adoption, and a migration towards enterprise services. 

During this Cybersecurity TechTalk, we will discuss:

• Learn about building DDoS protection to guard against DDoS attacks
  • Volumetric
  • Asymmetric
  • Computational
  • Vulnerability-Based

• Understand web attacks, learn about layer 7 attack protections, and patch vulnerabilities sooner
  • DNS DDoS mitigation
  • Layer 7 DDoS
  • SQL injection
  • NSX Software-Defined Networking 
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Brute force
  • Zero-day web application attacks
  • Web scraping prevention
  • Provide Proactive bot defense
  • SMTP and FTP security
  • Secure the latest interactive XML, AJAX applications, and JSON payloads
  • Geolocation attack protection

• Provide traffic inspection visibility and authentication services
  • Handle large amounts of application traffic even when under attack 
  • Dynamically boosts performance with application optimization and acceleration technologies such as fast caching, compression, SSL offload, and TCP optimization
  • Inspect and pre-drop malicious traffic before it reaches sensors
  • Ensure sensor availability by offloading intensive decryption and encryption functions
  • Standardize application CAC authentication across all apps and environments 

• Round table discussion
• Application of these concepts within the Department of Defense in support of existing missions, future consolidation, and joint networking initiatives
  • IPN, ECN, CDC, Cloud
• Software-Defined Data Center discussion
• What are you plans for application security?
