F5 NGINX integration with Red Hat Enterprise Linux helps customers meet rigorous demands of federal and industry regulations while enhancing digital capabilities

WASHINGTON: AWS SUMMIT—F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in delivering and securing every app and API, today announced a solution integrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux with F5 NGINX Plus FIPS compliance functionality, now available in the AWS Marketplace. Building on the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform, this solution is being unveiled at this week’s AWS Summit to offer unified application security, scalability, and reliability—all essential for protecting sensitive data and maintaining compliance with stringent cryptographic standards, including FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards).

The NGINX Plus FIPS 140-3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux offering upholds a commitment to FIPS 140-3 validation standards established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS). The F5 NGINX solution delivers interoperability and security of cryptographic modules with a streamlined approach that simplifies the configuration and use of FIPS-compliant products, helping businesses meet core requirements for protecting sensitive data across government, healthcare, legal, and finance sectors.

“The F5 solution running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux highlights our ongoing commitment to provide solutions designed for FIPS that can help government entities and adjacent organizations extend application and API protections across a growing threat landscape while elevating digital capabilities,” said John Maddison, Chief Product and Corporate Marketing Officer at F5. “Now available in the AWS Marketplace, customers can seamlessly access this powerful solution as part of the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform—the first platform that fully converges high-performance load balancing and traffic management with app and API security.”

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, supports compliance with rigorous security protocols and critical cryptographic modules, while F5 NGINX Plus optimizes performance with advanced load balancing, high availability, and secure application delivery. Now more easily deployable via the AWS Marketplace, the integrated solution provides a streamlined customer experience by delivering a fully packaged FIPS offering with an enhanced security posture.

“Governments and security-first organizations need solutions that can extend digital capabilities through application-dependent technologies like AI without compromising security or compliance,” said John Dvorak, Chief Technology Officer, North America Public Sector, Red Hat. “Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a hardened, security-driven foundation to support applications and processes more consistently across environments. We are pleased to continue to build upon our collaboration with F5 to empower customers to focus on their business priorities while more seamlessly maintaining compliance and protecting valued data.”
