What Is Edge Security Service?

Edge Security (EdgeSec) is a security service based on the edge nodes of Huawei Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN). It provides functions such as Edge Anti-DDoS, CC attack protection, Web protection, and bot behavior analysis. If you have purchased CDN or Whole Site Acceleration (WSA), you can enable security protection for acceleration domain names to safeguard content delivery.

Advantages

Massive Resource Reservation
Based on the content delivery network (CDN), EdgeSec accelerates content distribution and transmission and ensures service security.
Ultra-Large Protection Bandwidth
The global anti-DDoS bandwidth exceeds 15 Tbit/s, easily defending against heavy-traffic DDoS attacks at the network and application layers.
Comprehensive Security
Based on Huawei Cloud's rich experience in security attack defense, EdgeSec comprehensively defends against various network attacks, such as DDoS attacks, web attacks, CC attacks, and malicious crawlers.
One-click Protection
You can enable the domain name security acceleration service in one click without adjusting the existing CDN configuration and domain name resolution.

How It Works

When a user request reaches the EdgeSec acceleration network, the node identifies and intercepts various attack requests. EdgeSec supports anti-DDoS traffic cleaning. The WAF engine analyzes the behavior of web, BOT, and CC attacks and updates interception policies to block malicious requests from reaching customers' origin servers, ensuring smooth and stable service access and implementing dynamic and static network acceleration.
