Based on CDNetworks’ central cloud defense engine, it is constantly learning and protecting your web applications from new malicious actors and attack vectors, keeping your business safe and available.

Multi-Layered Protection

Covering all threat types, such as L3/4 and L7 DDoS attacks, OWASP top 10, application-specific vulnerabilities, and more.

Visual Dashboard

Display application-layer attack information and intercept attacks in real-time for both DDoS attacks and Web application attacks.

Quick Deployment and Easy Management

Enable Application Shield service quickly base on CDN service and take control of your security customized rules, signatures, access control and rate limiting. Combining with the WAF rule template, you can also improve management efficiency easily.

Zero Day Protection

Zero Day Protection

Protect applications against new threats through an intelligent back-end monitoring, detecting and blocking unwanted behaviors. When Zero Day vulnerabilities are discovered, Application Shield will send the “efficient patch” WAF rules to the entire platform synchronously, forming a “Network-wide Synchronization” protection system to rapidly address Zero Day vulnerabilities.

Visual Dashboard

CDNetworks Application Shield can display application-layer attack information (such as attack trending data, attack details, attack type, and source of attack) and intercept attacks in real-time for both DDoS attacks and Web application attacks. You can get an immediate and intuitive picture of your security status by viewing attack trends on the real-time dashboard, filter by domains, attack types, dates, and other parameters.

How it Works

Application Shield is a cloud-based WAF and DDoS protection solution, deployed on CDNetworks global Points-of Presence (PoPs) to detect and defend against web attacks in real-time. This happens at the edge of the network, far before the attack can hit, manipulate or overwhelm the customers’ data centers and origin servers. CDNetworks’ huge infrastructure also deflects DDoS attacks, keeping them away from smaller, more vulnerable networks. 

As customers continue to use the platform, the data gathered is fed to CDNetworks’ big-data system, powered by AI to further process events offline, in near real-time to generate new defense strategies. These strategies are then distributed immediately to all Pops, making the entire defense infrastructure even more effective.
