Introducing F5 AI Red Team

F5 AI Red Team is a new AI Security product that is now available on the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) platform, launched together with F5 AI Guardrails. 

Just as in the case of “traditional” cybersecurity, AI security cannot be an afterthought, it needs to be built into the application and continuously tested throughout the application lifecycle, from pilot to production. Proactive security testing has never been optional, much less in the AI age.

The first challenge is sourcing the library of real-life malicious patterns and keeping it updated throughout the lifecycle of the application. While human pentesters could help here, the arm’s race against re-tooling attackers makes this only a partial solution.

The second challenge is the repetitive testing needed as the application code iterates, which almost excludes human testing and mandates the use of an adversarial tool.

F5 AI Red Team responds to these challenges by enabling defenders to command a swarm of agents designed to hunt and attack vulnerabilities in AI models while ensuring end-to-end observability.

Some of the core capabilities of F5 AI Red Team are:

• Adversarial attack simulation by proactively testing AI models and applications against a library of 10,000+ attack patterns
• Obtain crucial insights into threat actors’ exploit paths with detailed logs and audit trails
• Integration with F5 AI Guardrails to rapidly translate insights into defenses

Let’s see F5 AI Red Team in action with a short demo:

Conclusion

F5 AI Red Team simulates adversarial attacks such as prompt injection and jailbreaks at unprecedented speed and scale, allowing for continuous assessment throughout the application lifecycle, providing insights into threats and integrating with F5 AI Guardrails to convert these insights into security policies.
