PRATIK SHAH
MANAGING DIRECTOR – INDIA & SAARC, F5
“As we stand in 2026, the AI-led transformation is no longer a future concept for Indian enterprises; it's a reality that is fundamentally reshaping their digital landscape. This has created a new battleground where both innovation and threats operate at machine speed, primarily targeting the applications and APIs that power these new services.
The era of relying on siloed, legacy security tools is over. They simply cannot provide the necessary context, performance, or consistent policy enforcement required to protect today's distributed, AI-driven architectures.
At F5, we believe that security must be as agile and intelligent as the applications it protects. Our approach is to provide a unified platform that integrates high-performance traffic management with advanced web and API protection, bot defense, and AI-aware controls. This enables Indian enterprises to embed security and performance into the very core of their digital services, allowing them to innovate confidently, meet compliance demands, and scale securely to maintain digital trust and drive growth”.
