F5, Monday, August 17th, 2026
F5's chief product officer explains why the company joined the Open Secure AI Alliance alongside NVIDIA and others.
F5 chief product officer Kunal Anand explains why the company joined the Open Secure AI Alliance, formed with NVIDIA and other industry participants to develop and share open tools promoting responsible use of and trust in AI.
Anand argues AI is changing the economics of both software and security. Agents can now discover vulnerabilities, write code, invoke tools and call other systems at a speed and cost that changes attacker and defender maths alike.
The post makes the case that open, shared tooling is the appropriate response to a shift affecting the whole industry. F5 positions its participation as contributing to the trust layer rather than differentiating on it.
