AI is now embedded into applications, workflows, and decision-making paths. APIs are the connective tissue making this possible, but security models are not keeping pace.

Across the UK, Europe, and New Zealand, we see the same issue repeating: application and API exposure is growing faster than visibility, control, and assurance. This is not theoretical risk. It is operational, measurable, and already being exploited.

This webinar in collaboration with Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster and F5 will explore how AI is reshaping application security, and where organisations are most exposed today.

Why this Topic is Relevant

AI changes application risk in three material ways:

• Applications process more data, faster
• APIs are exposed internally and externally at scale
• Automation is used equally by defenders and attackers

From what we see across regulated sectors, the biggest challenges are not tooling gaps but visibility gaps.

Common issues include:

• Application security controls that do not extend to APIs
• Limited insight into API security usage and abuse
• Bot traffic that blends into legitimate automation
• Security teams inheriting risk from development velocity

AI accelerates all of this plus attackers use AI to probe, enumerate, and adapt. Defensive controls must respond in real time, not retrospectively. This is now a board-level conversation in many UK and European organisations, particularly where NIS2, ISO 27001, or sector regulation applies.

This Webinar will Focus on:

• Why AI is changing the application security threat landscape
• How AI and machine learning are used to detect threats as they happen
• Reducing risk from bots, automation, and account takeover
• Securing APIs that underpin AI-enabled services
• Delivering consistent security across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid estates

You will also hear how these controls are applied without adding unnecessary operational overhead, something we consistently see as a blocker in both enterprise and mid-market environments.

Why Attend

If you are responsible for, application security strategy, API governance and protection, hybrid or multi-cloud risk management and/or translating technical risk into business impact this webinar will help you:

• Understand where AI-driven attacks are already succeeding
• Identify blind spots in existing application controls
• Frame application and API risk in language boards understand
• Sense-check assumptions about what current tooling really covers

Why F5’s Perspective Matters

F5 operates at the intersection of application delivery and application protection, and their position provides clear visibility into:

• High-volume API traffic patterns
• Automated abuse and bot behaviour
• Where AI-driven attacks bypass traditional controls

This session explores how F5 approaches AI in application security across different environments, without assuming a single architecture or operating model.

If AI application security, API security, or AI-driven cyber attacks are part of your current risk discussion, this session is designed for you:
