Help AG and F5 Launch Managed App and API Security Service
Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of e& enterprise, has become the first Managed Services Provider (MSP) partner for F5 in the Middle East. Building on their existing relationship, Help AG is now offering a new Managed App and API Protection Service based on the F5 Distributed Cloud Platform. This service is designed to provide continuous, cloud-delivered security for modern digital systems, including those in public, private, edge, and hybrid cloud environments.
Today’s threat landscape is increasingly complex. As businesses move towards API-driven architectures, edge computing, and cloud-native applications, they expose a wider attack surface. Security teams face growing pressure from automated bot attacks, API misuse, and sophisticated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attempts. Many organizations also lack the necessary knowledge and tools to defend against these attacks effectively.
Help AG’s new service directly addresses these challenges. It offers multi-layered protection as a managed, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. The service uses F5’s globally recognized Distributed Cloud Services and is operated 24/7 by Help AG’s expert Security Operations Center (SOC) team. This allows clients to streamline operations, meet compliance requirements, and respond to threats in real time. Businesses can now deploy resilient, compliant, and cost-efficient application protection, backed by Help AG’s local expertise.
Stephan Berner, CEO of Help AG, stated, “This partnership with F5 is a major step forward for enterprise security. It reflects our shared goal of securing every application, API, and digital interaction at scale. This new service provides regional organizations with enterprise-grade security that is proactive, cost-effective, and built for the cloud-first era.”
The new solution offers unified protection that includes Web Application Firewall (WAF), advanced bot mitigation, API discovery and security, and DDoS defense. All these features are managed through a centralized SaaS-based console, providing full visibility and control. Clients also benefit from flexible deployment options across various locations and continuous support and tuning from Help AG’s expert teams.
Mustapha Hlil, Director of Channel Sales for the Middle East, Türkiye and Africa at F5, commented, “As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, the need for always-on, adaptable security is critical. Help AG’s security expertise, managed services leadership, and 24/7 SOC support, combined with the F5 Distributed Cloud platform, offer a powerful solution. This will greatly help enterprises that lack the in-house expertise to deploy and manage security solutions.”
This launch marks a new phase in the Help AG and F5 partnership, reinforcing their commitment to securing the region’s digital future and helping organizations build trust in their digital interactions.
