Endpoint defense has delivered strong incident response and supports deep behavior analytics
They should listen more to their community. They need to do a lot more bundling of things as part of it instead of treating everything as an upgrade or an enhancement. The problem that is hurting them is that there is a cost all the time for upgrading. They are late in the game. When you look at Exabeam, they have always been focused on behavior analytics. This new journey into that era has enhanced it because it provides detection and baselining of behavior when someone is using that endpoint. It is an added feature that has benefited the enterprise in terms of defensive depth. It is definitely a good feature.

Advanced automation and powerful traffic controls have improved application security
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support is something that definitely could be improved in F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only]. I mean HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocol support, as well as security for them too. For F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] to have better support for them would include load balancing, but also better WAF (Web Application Firewall) support for these two protocols. Improving the mentioned HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support and the GUI would be beneficial. If they improve those things and add machine learning and AI, I want it to have some kind of AI on the box because everyone is going to AI, and they have to add some AI security to be able to check the traffic using AI models. HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocol support, AI, the GUI to be changed, and inline AI where the device downloads pre-built AI models from a SaaS cloud to check the traffic for security is something I think is very needed because using AI models as a replacement for signatures will be better. I think WAF signatures are a thing of the past. I would also like to see HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 in the future as additional features, and anything else I would improve would definitely include HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
