F5 launches AI Security Platform to uncover and secure shadow AI

F5 announced the F5 AI Security Platform, enhanced by the acquisition of SurePath AI, to provide continuous visibility, governance, testing, and runtime protection for enterprise AI across on‑premises, air‑gapped, private, hybrid, and public cloud environments. Key capabilities highlighted include network‑based AI discovery (including shadow AI), a large AI threat test database for pre‑production security testing, plain‑language runtime guardrails to block prompt injection and data leakage, and an observability layer for auditability and regulatory requirements.
