The use cases for F5 Silverline Managed Services include Application Firewall and Web Application Firewall. For example, it helps me manage a few public IPs which are malicious and pose a threat to the network. These can be blocked or allowed based on requirements. Additionally, it allows me to block or allow specific applications for particular subnet ranges. I am an administrator managing the licensed software and providing support to clients.

I use F5 Silverline Managed Services for application delivery and security. I have extensive experience with products like LTM (application delivery controller), GTM (global traffic load balancing), ASM, and APM. These products enable me to distribute back-end server traffic, customize and control HTTP headers, and provide security measures like health checks and DNS security.

F5 Silverline Managed Services is used to protect applications from SQL injection attacks and to prevent any cross-access scripting and vulnerabilities.
View full review »We primarily use the solution for config or application security policies on web application firewalls. It's to protect applications that are internet-facing. There's port protection as well.
View full review »We are using this product for a major airline whose traffic is routed via F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall. All B2C sites are behind F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall. The data part is basically to Akamai for CDNs and to F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall for WAF capability. The resources are hosted on AWS or Azure. For parameters, we have another F5 AWAS module, which intercepts the traffic once it is inside the cloud parameters, and then the data goes to the backend application pool. Every B2C traffic gets inspected on F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall. Every HTTP profile is inspected on the Advanced WAF module, which is again F5 on-premises.
We are also deploying this solution for another client in the Middle East. We're basically deploying the architecture. We have F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall and the Check Point firewall as the next-generation firewalls. All HTTP traffic is via F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, and it is routed back to the Check Point firewall for IPS and malware inspection because F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall does not do that. Non-HTTP profiles go via the Check Point firewall.

Our primary use case of F5 is for a WAF. I used to use F5 to do some double load balancing. And now, for my current use case, we primarily use the F5 Silverline as an application firewall to protect our web servers.
We use this product as part of our security solution for the application layer.

There are many use cases, but the most important one is due to the Central Bank policy which states that we must make it only accessible within Iran. It restricts people from making transactions outside of Iran.
