Securing Your AI Journey With F5 And AWS
F5, Friday, February 20th, 2026
While a majority of organizations (96%) are deploying AI models, most worry about AI model security, according to the latest F5 State of Application Strategy report. And rightly so because many traditional security tools do not adequately support or protect modern AI workloads.
After all, AI has different and varying development environments, architectures, components, and vector stores that fall outside traditional application security tooling.
But the disturbing fact is that fewer than 4 in 10 organizations (37%) have processes in place to evaluate the security of AI systems before they move to deployment, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 survey. At the rate AI is being adopted both with and without the security team's blessing, there's trouble on the horizon for organizations that don't put in the proper guardrails and security protocols regarding their AI deployments and usage.
