Standard Life selects F5 Networks to improve application security

F5 Networks, a provider of application delivery networking solutions, has signed a deal with Standard Life to improve the company's application security.

In a project supported by information security services specialist Vistorm, the solution leverages F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) software running on multiple F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) devices.

F5 Networks said that in developing the fourth generation of Standard Life's service orientated architecture (SOA) infrastructure platform, it wanted to implement an architecture that was fully fault-tolerant and had no scalability constraints, while delivering increased application protection.

With F5 solutions at Standard Life, BIG-IP's layer seven load balancing capability becomes a key enabler of the SOA architecture, while the functionality of ASM supports compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, Basel II, and SOX regulations without the need for application changes or rewrites, or separate devices to perform different tasks.
