F5 and MuleSoft Integrate AI Security for Agentic Applications — F5, Inc.

Event summary

F5 and MuleSoft have integrated F5 AI Guardrails into Agent Fabric to provide inline security and governance for agentic AI applications.
The integration enables centralized policy enforcement, real-time protection against malicious prompts, and enhanced auditability.
F5 AI Guardrails for Agent Fabric is now generally available, with a demonstration scheduled at Dreamforce (September 15–17, 2026).
The solution supports Agentforce ecosystems, proactive threat mitigation, data residency, and low-touch policy tuning.

The big picture

As enterprises rapidly scale AI agents and large language model (LLM) applications, the need for robust security and governance solutions is critical. This integration addresses the growing governance gap and lack of visibility into agentic traffic, providing a unified control plane for policy management. The collaboration between F5 and MuleSoft underscores the strategic importance of securing AI-driven workflows in an increasingly regulated landscape.
