Chase Abbott and Istvan Berko explored the growing complexities of Agentic AI and its implications for security within enterprise architectures. As AI transitions from isolated models to interconnected architectures, managing non-human identities under a zero-trust framework is critical to securing the expanded attack surface. Ensuring robust identity governance is fundamental as organizations navigate this evolving landscape. #AppWorld2026 https://lnkd.in/gteN5DWf

Jason Rahm, Matthew Mabis, and George James talk automation best practices learned through real-world experiences, including transitioning to automated workflows using Ansible by Red Hat and HashiCorp Terraform. It’s important to understand not just how to automate, but why it matters for efficiency and consistency in operations. #AppWorld2026

NGINX troubleshooting capabilities are coming to #iHealth, including quick links, command running, and log viewing, with more advanced heuristics planned for the future. This includes case assist, which features auto-populating fields based on system analysis, streamlining support interactions. Kendall Brenneise Jason Rahm #AppWorld2026

Zero Trust Architecture requires continuous, multi-layered enforcement across both user access and application sessions. This requires the use of both SASE and F5 ADSP at the access edge and F5 ADSP at the application edge. This article explores their distinct proxy roles, how they map to NIST SP 800-207 principles, and why seamless context propagation between them is critical to closing security gaps.

Matthew Andriani discusses the growing importance of visibility in #DDoS defense, particularly in the banking sector. As AI threats increase, MazeBolt is focusing on automating the detection and mitigation of vulnerabilities in collaboration with F5, ensuring rapid response to evolving tactics. #AppWorld2026 Buu Lam Yuichi Miyazaki

See how to do automated penetration testing aligned with #OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities with F5 Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning. When used with F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF, the detected vulnerabilities can be easily exported to apply the correct virtual patches. This will strengthen your defense against new threats. https://lnkd.in/dybk2MFZ

Alessandro Fael Garcia and Jason Williams discuss the new Agentic Observability module for NGINX, enabling efficient monitoring of #MCP traffic. This open-source solution supports enhanced visibility into agent interactions and tool usage directly through NGINX, utilizing OTEL and integration with Grafana for metrics visualization. #AppWorld2026 Buu Lam Annania Melaku Hannah Ouellette
