The agreement enables the companies’ customers to benefit from security solutions that integrate application delivery infrastructure from F5 and advanced threat protection from FireEye Network Security.

It also includes a unified approach to worldwide sales, deployment and support, giving customers an end-to-end solution.
FireEye Asia-Pacific Chief Technology Officer Bryce Boland, said the partnership between FireEye and F5 will feature the integration of key application delivery technologies with advanced threat management platforms as enterprise IT departments are challenged with supporting cloud-based applications and mobile environments while maintaining network reliability, security, and speed.
