Some of the most serious network security threats come from attacks that target vulnerabilities in enterprise applications. These attacks ignore conventional firewalls and intrusion-detection and prevention systems, and they are often difficult and costly to prevent. BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) delivers comprehensive protection for Web applications and operational infrastructure. BIG-IP ASM employs an auto-adaptive approach to application delivery security, where the security policy is automatically updated based on observed traffic patterns. This simplified approach to configuration makes implementation and maintenance easier, reducing the overall total cost of ownership. BIG-IP Application Security Manager is the fastest application delivery security product on the market. It combines application acceleration such as RAM cache, compression, SSL offload, TCP optimization, and other performance advantages of the TMOS architecture to deliver security without sacrificing speed. BIG-IP Application Security Manager has made application delivery security easy and manageable. It delivers specific, built-in Validated Application Policies as well as an automatic policy-building engine that can quickly adapt to application updates. BIG-IP Application Security Manager is the only product in the industry that provides Multi-Layer Security, an integrated L2/L7 approach to providing security. Multi-Layer Security not only provides Web application firewall security but also AnyApp security, where the application is protocol-agnostic. BIG-IP Application Security Manager is available as a standalone appliance, and also as a product module for BIG-IP.
