What Security Capabilities Does CDN Provide?

By adding your domain name to Huawei Cloud CDN, you can have your origin IP addresses hidden to prevent origin servers from being exposed to attackers.
Huawei Cloud CDN has more than 2,800 PoPs on the entire network. It relieves the pressure of DDoS/CC attacks on origin servers and prevents the servers from being paralyzed due to attacks. If CDN PoPs fail to provide services due to heavy attack traffic, CDN will temporarily ban the domain name, change its status to Disabled, and disable the acceleration service for it. The domain name cannot be accessed but its configuration is retained.
CDN supports referer validation, IP address access control lists (ACLs), and token authentication. For details, see Access Control.
