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.

Centralized secrets have secured certificate lifecycles and simplify dynamic credential access
I am not still working with Check Point tools. I am not working with anything like HashiCorp security lifecycle management or infrastructure lifecycle management. I am using Teleport instead of HashiCorp Boundary. I think it is pretty fine regarding the effectiveness of HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] Consul in managing service networking. I am not using Nomad for workload orchestration. I think HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] is expensive. Because HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] fits my use cases, that is why I am using it. My past experience with Terraform was helpful to manage a multi-cloud environment with it. Sometimes when I need to spin up multiple instances per requirement, I have the template, and I can use this to deploy the infrastructure very quickly. I would rate this review an eight on a zero to ten scale.
