WitnessAI Announces Integration with F5 BIG-IP to Deliver Visibility and Control Over Encrypted GenAI Activity

Joint customers can enable safe and productive use of thousands of AI applications

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WitnessAI, creator of the first enablement platform for safe AI use, today announced its support for F5 BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator integration. Customers using F5's BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator solution already enjoy a broad range of methods for gaining visibility into encrypted application traffic at scale and can now get deep insights into enterprise AI traffic as well.

WitnessAI safely enables an organization's employees to use thousands of AI apps already available on the internet. WitnessAI uses network connectivity to observe, control, and protect employees' use of AI applications.

• Witness/OBSERVE eliminates "shadow AI" by creating a catalog of AI apps being accessed by employees and supports compliance by logging every AI conversation and classifying it for risk and intention.
  
  
• Witness/CONTROL activity guardrails enforce corporate AI acceptable use policy based on identity and intended use. Together, these products enable safe use of AI via governance and risk management.

By integrating its user activity guardrails with BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator, WitnessAI provides a unified and easily deployed solution for full visibility, policy control, and data protection with any AI application an employee might access. The integrated solution not only secures data submitted to a third-party AI app, but also prevents harmful responses from those apps, protecting users from misinformation or unlawful influence.

"Accessing and managing encrypted application traffic is a challenge easily solved with F5 BIG-IP," said Rick Caccia, WitnessAI CEO. "WitnessAI enhances that visibility and management with awareness of AI destinations and analysis of conversations and risk. Together, we give customers the ability to see and protect any employee AI use."

"The productivity benefits of GenAI are clear, and organizations are broadly adopting AI tools," said Mike Rau, SVP of Technical Enterprise Strategy and Business Development at F5. "F5's collaboration with WitnessAI will make it easier for joint customers to use AI safely and effectively."

WitnessAI is in use at global organizations today, detecting shadow AI, providing full visibility into user activity, and protecting users and data from loss and harm. Security and privacy leaders interested in a demonstration of the WitnessAI platform can contact the company at [email protected].
