Malware attack from f5 RAMCache

I was reading the ASM brochure below and came across a statement :

 

https://www.f5.com/pdf/products/big-ip-application-security-manager-ds.pdf

 

"BIG-IP : ASM geolocation-based protection can be applied to a CAPTCHA challenge and to protect RAM cache and other resources from DDoS attacks"

 

What does the statement "to protect RAM cache" means? Does this imply RAM cache of f5 itself? Does this mean that a malware can actually get settled and generate attack against other devices form f5 RAM?

 

  • File it under "Marketing bulls***". It's kind of like they got challenged to "use all these words in one sentence" and came up with that statement.......

     

    They just mean reducing the number of anomalous request from hitting RAMCache, they don't mean malware in RAMCache.
