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.

Comprehensive log monitoring has improved proactive incident response and cost control
The best features Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] offers include the Ingest Processor, which allows me to filter out or stop data ingestion from the data source to reduce ingestion and storage licensing costs. I am currently exploring this good feature. Regarding my experience with the Ingest Processor, I have a consumer whose application forwards data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Unfortunately, when there is a restart, old duplicate data is also ingested alongside the current data. For example, the last 24 hours' data amounts to 15 to 20 GB, and when the application restarts, an additional 15 to 20 GB of duplicate data ingests. Consequently, instead of the expected 15 to 20 GB, I am looking at almost 30 to 40 GB of ingestion cost. By using the Ingest Processor, I can effectively stop the duplicate data ingestion into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization in many ways. For instance, if something goes wrong with an application I monitor, without Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only], notifications are unavailable, and support staff would not be notified, which saves time. I also have proactive alerts and predictive analysis, saving costs by preventing the ingestion of duplicate data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. From a security standpoint, I have audit-related features to address issues or malicious attacks. Utilizing predictions and AI functions aids me in multiple areas of operations.
