5 Networks will underscore its growing regional
influence in application security and multi-cloud
solutions at GITEX. “In a digital-driven economy,
applications deliver business services for a variety of
access points and locations, opening up new risks
and attack vectors – particularly as IT teams extend
security and encryption capabilities across cloud, data
centre, and hybrid environments,” said Taj El Khayat,
Gulf, Levant and North Africa Director, F5 Networks.
Among the security solutions on show are F5’s latest
additions to the Herculon product family. Herculon
SSL Orchestrator™ provides improved insight for
the visibility gaps created by the growing use of
encryption for application data. With purpose-built
hardware for SSL/TLS, the product provides leading
cryptographic capabilities, context-aware dynamic
service chaining, and native integrations.
Herculon SSL Orchestrator can significantly increase
performance – and decrease infrastructure costs –
across the security stack by eliminating the need for
redundant encryption and decryption capabilities. A
‘defence in-depth’ strategy is employed to enhance
detection, enforcement, and orchestration with
support from a rich ecosystem of security vendors.

idelis Cybersecurity, a leading provider
of products and services for detecting
and stopping advanced cyberattacks, will
demonstrate how its latest platform, Fidelis
Elevate, empowers security teams and raises
an organisation’s security posture by providing
automated detection and response across both
networks and endpoints.
“If recent attacks like WannaCry and Petya
have taught us anything, it is that traditional
security defences are no longer capable of
combating modern cyberattacks and protecting
organisations’ most sensitive data,” said Jason
Mical, Vice President, Endpoint Products, Fidelis
Cybersecurity. “Enterprises have evolved with a
patchwork of systems strung together that create
more complexity than the problems they solve.
Security teams without complete visibility across
networks and endpoints don’t have the capability
to prevent and detect threats, and the automation
to maximise resources; which has resulted in
enterprises being unable to detect and respond to
the cyberthreats facing them today.”
Fidelis Elevate offers content-rich network and
endpoint visibility to detect both known and
unknown threats. Enterprises can utilise its
automated detection and response capability to
ensure protection from security incidents happens
immediately, and historical data is delivered to
security analysts for subsequent action. From here,
using the platform, the security team is able to triage,
investigate, remediate and forensically analyse
security incidents to fully protect their enterprise. n
Another security highlight is the Herculon DDoS Hybrid
Defender™, which gives customers a multilayered
defence against volumetric and pervasive DDoS attacks
by integrating high-performance hardware with the
intelligence of offsite cloud scrubbing via F5 Silverline.
This hybrid approach improves time to mitigation in
scenarios where website and application availability
are crucial to customer interactions and profitability.
The product can be deployed in-line or in out-of-
band mode, and provides comprehensive DDoS
coverage through behavioural analytics, sub-second
attack mitigation, and visibility into sophisticated
application layer attacks. n
