Identify, authenticate, and monetize AI agent traffic at scale with F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense and Skyfire’s Know Your Agent (KYA) protocol F5, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in delivering and securing every app and API, and Skyfire , the agentic commerce platform providing identity and payment infrastructure for AI agents, today announced a technology partnership designed to enable enterprises to securely allow verified AI agents while still blocking malicious actors. The planned integration brings Skyfire’s open Know Your Agent (KYA) protocol to the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), intended to enable merchants and content providers to distinguish legitimate, revenue-generating AI agent traffic from malicious automation. AI agents are rapidly becoming the new consumers of the Internet, autonomously browsing, researching, and purchasing on behalf of humans. Yet the same bot management systems that protect merchants from scraping, credential stuffing,

F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes accelerated with BlueField DPUs improves token throughput, reduces cost per token, and enables secure multi-tenant AI infrastructure, transforming AI factories for the agentic era F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in delivering and securing every app and API, today announced expanded capabilities in its ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate and optimize AI inference infrastructures. The expanded integration combines F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, creating an intelligent, telemetry-aware infrastructure layer that increases token throughput with better GPU utilization, reduces latency, and enables secure multi-tenant AI platforms at scale. In AI systems, tokens represent the measurable unit of AI output—the words, symbols, or data fragments generated and processed during inference. The volume and velocity of token production ultimately determine user experience, infrastructure efficiency, and revenue per
