Protocol Security Module^™

BIG-IP^® Protocol Security Module (PSM) provides powerful security services for HTTP(s), SMTP, and FTP at BIG-IP system speed. PSM is perfect for environments that require more than layer 3 and layer 4 inspection services, where the expertise and management overhead needed to deploy a full-featured web application firewall isn't possible or there is a need to secure other protocols. Protocol enforcement services can be implemented on a per-virtual-server basis and configured within a matter of minutes.

Broad Protection from HTTP Attacks

Safeguards your brand by filtering out attacks related to web server vulnerability, request smuggling, buffer overflow, and command injection and masks sensitive data like Social Security and credit card numbers.

Spam-Blocking SMTP Security

Stops spam at the perimeter by performing DNS checks and blocking dangerous SMTP commands. Enforces rate limits on incoming connections and mitigates directory harvesting attacks.
