Ten years is a long time in cyber security.
When FullProxy launched in 2016, the world looked very different. Cloud adoption was still gathering pace. Hybrid working wasn’t yet mainstream. AI was nowhere near today’s agenda. Ransomware was growing, but hadn’t yet become the industrial-scale threat it is now.
The F5 iSeries has been dependable infrastructure for years. Stable. Predictable. Deeply embedded in production.
But as F5 iSeries approaches end of support (EOS) at the end of the year, this stops being a lifecycle milestone and becomes a strategic decision point.
If you're wondering “When does my F5 expire?” (whether it's hardware, software or virtual) you're not alone. Many people run into critical lifecycle milestones without realising it, putting performance, security, and compliance at risk.
In this blog, learn the importance of shifting to a platform-based approach. Traditional cyber security approaches reliant on isolated, fragmented solutions are proving insufficient. We see increasing evidence of the main pain points that effect business and public sector organisations:
In the rapidly evolving world of network infrastructure, staying current is not just a best practice—it’s a necessity. For F5 users, this means keeping your BIG-IP systems up to date with the latest supported versions. You can find out if you're due for a an upgrade with our bespoke F5 Software Countdown!
I had the opportunity to speak at Futurescot Digital Scotland in November last year alongside our partner, Fortinet . The event was a fantastic opportunity to delve into the latest innovations shaping the Scottish public sector from a digital perspective. One of the key themes of my talk was Zero Trust adoption.
Infrastructure modernisation is no longer a luxury—it's imperative. For organisations relying on legacy systems, the transition from F5s iSeries to rSeries represents more than a hardware upgrade; it's a critical step in maintaining technological resilience and competitive advantage.
As the CEO of FullProxy, I've always believed that staying ahead of technological disruptions is increasingly the most pressing concern for businesses and public sector organisations across the globe – not just from a cyber security perspective, but as a fundamental safeguard against business interruption.
