The Operational Reality of AI-Era Security and How We're Helping You Meet It
F5, Wednesday, July 15th, 2026
F5's CTOO outlines how AI-accelerated exploits force faster patch cycles and what F5 is shipping to support them.
F5 Chief Technology Operations Officer Michael Montoya addresses how organizations must adapt as AI accelerates both threat detection and vulnerability exploitation.
F5 is moving to monthly hardened releases paired with new fleet management capabilities in F5 Insight for ADSP so teams can deploy patches at scale without losing governance controls.
Montoya states that the speed at which a fix can be deployed is now part of security posture rather than separate from it, which requires investment in automation and visibility.
He recommends customers trial F5 Insight and engage Professional Services to automate their update processes. He also points to AI Red Team capabilities for identifying exploits before adversaries do.
