How to evaluate F5 in a security program
Use F5 as a stack candidate, not as diligence evidence. The oneNorma score for F5 is 5.8/10 (percentile 75). If the real gap is in API Security, a dashboard does not replace a pentest or a control mapped to Law 21.663 or ISO 27001. Compare this profile with what www.f5.com publishes. Contrast it with pentesting and Security Cloud & Compliance.
