F5 continues global expansion with new regional PoP in HK

Application specialist company F5 has expanded its global footprint by launching a regional point of presence (PoP) in Hong Kong, offering two services in the city. 

F5 will provide its local Hong Kong customers with its Silverline managed security service, consisting of the Silverline Web Application Firewall and Silverline DDoS Protection. The new regional PoP provides improved application performance and reduced latency for customers across additional regions, whose applications are secured by the Silverline Managed Services Platform.

The company states that it hopes to satisfy growing customer demand for the ability to protect applications and web properties without upfront investments in IT infrastructure and support while addressing the talent shortage in the cybersecurity space.

"F5’s regional PoP in Hong Kong provides core F5 technologies as managed services that will allow our customers to protect their applications and digital innovations against the most prevalent cyber-attacks without the need to hire a team of security experts," said Michael Mak, general manager, Hong Kong and Macau at F5 Networks.

Following the Hong Kong launch, two additional regional PoP locations in Asia-Pacific will be established in the near future.
