Case Study: SA Water Secures APIs and Simplifies Cloud Operations with F5 Distributed Cloud Services

SA Water blocks 99.6% of simulated attacks with F5

SA Water, a leading government-owned utility in South Australia, faced operational challenges due to its aging and costly Citrix NetScaler infrastructure, which lacked scalability and was a burden to manage. The utility also needed to secure its growing catalogue of APIs against increasing cyber threats as it moved towards a cloud-first strategy. To address this, SA Water selected F5 and its Distributed Cloud API Security solution.

F5 implemented its cloud-native SaaS solution, which seamlessly integrated with SA Water's MuleSoft environment on AWS. During a proof-of-concept, F5 successfully blocked 99.6% of simulated attacks. The solution improved security, simplified operations, and reduced latency, allowing SA Water's IT team to focus on strategic initiatives. F5 also provided enhanced resilience and streamlined access management, resulting in reduced operational costs and improved service reliability for customers.
