F5 bolsters government credentials
Multicloud application service provider F5 has announced the company’s completion of the Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) Assessment for F5 Distributed Cloud Services. The assessment was completed by ASD-certified IRAP assessors from CyberCX.
In addition to furthering F5’s presence in the government market, the completion of the IRAP Assessment to the PROTECTED security classification plays a vital role in assuring public and private sector organisations that F5’s Distributed Cloud Services have achieved the high standard of requirement for the storage and processing of protected level information necessary in the current landscape.
In Australia, F5 works with local, state and federal government agencies, as well as major banks, retailers, service providers and organisations across the health, education and telecommunications sectors.
According to Jason Baden, Regional Vice President A/NZ at F5, strict standards for cybersecurity and the protection of data are critical given the constantly evolving landscape of cybercrime.
“Since F5’s global footprint expanded in 2022 to include the regional point of presence (PoP) in Sydney and Melbourne, our software and cloud offerings have evolved significantly to help customers in Australia meet the challenges of complexity and risk,” Baden said.
“Completing the IRAP Assessment exemplifies F5’s commitment to the Australian public and private sectors by providing confidence in the F5 solutions which are relied on by many for safe and secure business function.”
