- F5 ASM Basic Plan - API Support
Service Introduction
The Basic API plan offers foundational protection for low-risk or internal APIs. With minimal tuning and default JSON/XML enforcement, it ensures basic compliance and visibility without complex configuration. Designed for simple, stable APIs with limited exposure, this plan is ideal for early-stage projects, prototypes, or internal tools where lightweight protection is all that’s needed.
Challanges Solved
Web application firewalls often give a false sense of security. Without regular tuning, policies become stale, missing new evasion techniques and generating noisy false positives that frustrate users and devs alike. Parameters go unvalidated, bot activity slips through, and outdated file or URL controls quietly introduce risk. Many businesses don’t realise that 'default protection' leaves critical gaps, especially as their app evolves with new features, endpoints, or third-party integrations.
