Companies have significantly sped up their digital transformation efforts in the past year, a theme anticipated to persist beyond the pandemic, according to F5. With limited in-person interactions, applications have become synonymous with an organization's presence and ability to thrive.

This is especially the case when managing broader application portfolios that span multiple generations of application architectures.

77% of respondents reported that they are presently modernizing internal or customer-facing applications, with APIs as the primary method given their ability to combine capabilities of traditional and modern application components.

Balancing flexibility and security for an united application strategy.

With the percentage of applications deployed in the cloud rising‚ 68% of respondents are also hosting at least some of their application security and delivery technologies in the cloud.
