The partnership between Telefónica Tech and F5 launches Web Application Defense, a new application security and protection service for enterprise customers. The service is SaaS-based and deployed on F5’s Distributed Cloud Platform. The solution will allow Telefónica Tech’s enterprise customers to detect threats e vulnerability in real time.

WAD is further reinforced by the support of Telefónica’s Security Operations Center (SOC) team that monitors enterprise customers’ cloud environments 24/7, 365 days a year. This support includes triage of high-severity issues, alert analysis, and recovery recommendations. The solution currently includes F5’s industry-leading Web App Firewall (WAF), Bot Defense, API Security, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation capabilities.
