The company announced F5 AI Data Fabric, with generative AI improving the user experience and designed to help adapt and respond to threats more quickly. F5's AI Assistant should be introduced later in 2024, with the NLP interface allowing users to ask questions of their data and generate real-time dashboards, among other things. F5's focus is clearly on better app and API security, making detection better and faster, an issue rapidly becoming table stakes today. Zeus shares some insights from his investor presentation at F5's AppWorld event and highlights the importance of app and AI security for the industry as a whole.

As for what's ahead? We expect to see lots of convergence and consolidation.
