F5 is moving to monthly hardened software releases and monthly security notifications, aided by frontier AI.
F5's chief product officer outlines a faster release cadence, shifting to monthly hardened software releases that ship on the third Wednesday of each month starting July 15.
Quarterly security notifications become monthly, with the first arriving August 19 to cover the July 15 release.
