POST QUANTUM with F5

Post Quantum Crypto Agility at the Edge

F5 Application Delivery & Security Platform (ADSP) enables a PQC ready posture at your critical boundaries, protecting your APIs and apps while giving you more time to migrate internal infrastructures to post quantum platforms.

As part of your journey to PQC readiness, F5 gives you a practical, centralised way to manage cryptographic transitions, without breaking performance or visibility.

How does F5 help achieve post quantum readiness?

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) will mean you need to update the algorithms you use across your TLS and VPN infrastructure, and to be ready to rotate them again fast.

But the real challenge isn’t the algorithms themselves. It’s doing this at scale, across complex traffic flows, with zero downtime and minimal risk.

F5 gives you the centralised control, inspection and agility you need to manage crypto transitions confidently. Whether you’re preparing for hybrid algorithms, certificate updates or tighter NCSC TLS expiry cycles, F5 enables you to adapt without disruption.

“Your back end servers may not yet be PQC compatible – but the F5 is. So your perimeter at least is secure, buying you time to upgrade the rest”

Ewan Ferguson, CEO FullProxy

Key F5 Capabilities for PQC Readiness

The F5 Application Delivery & Security Platform (ADSP) offers NIST standardised post quantum cryptography to enable a hybrid PQC posture now, protecting your APIs and apps at the perimeter while giving you time to migrate your hardware and upgrade internal infrastructures ready for a PQC landscape.

Defend your sensitive data

Protect customer and financial data against ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ attacks. Maintain visibility and performance as PQC algorithms phase in.

Ensure fast application speeds

PQC safety without slowing your application servers with a heavy duty cryptography burden they’re not designed to carry

Set an above-PQC compliance standard

Support automated TLS lifecycle reduction in line with shrinking expiry mandates.

Enable hybrid crypto algorithm rollout

Test and deploy hybrid RSA+PQC cipher suites without breaking legacy compatibility.

Visualise your cryptographic posture

Map out the cryptographic status of your environment, including weak cypher detection, a consolidated view of your TLS configurations, certificate status, and cypher suite usage

Future-proof encrypted traffic

Maintain visibility and performance as PQC algorithms phase in.

The F5 PQC Toolkit

BIG-IP Policy Engine: Crypto Policy Control at Scale

Use case: Transition from current ciphers to NIST-approved PQC-safe configurations without downtime.

SSL Visibility & Control for Encrypted Traffic

Use case: Discover outdated cypher suites and prepare for hybrid or PQC-compatible traffic.
