CDNetworks, the APAC-leading network to deliver edge as a service, announced that it has upgraded its WAAP Solution with a newly launched Cloud Security 2.0 Platform. This upgrade enhances the platform’s adaptive protection capabilities and usability to meet the needs of today’s demanding business requirements for one-stop management while offering protection customized for a myriad of business scenarios. This enables organizations to effectively tackle the increasingly severe web security threats with confidence.
Highlights of the New Platform and Enhanced WAAP Capabilities
Proactive AI Central Engine
Recognizing the shortcomings of rule-based protection when it comes to addressing modern network security needs, CDNetworks’ Cloud Security 2.0 platform uses an AI Central Engine as the core for its new platform architecture. The architecture is built to enhance businesses’ adaptive protection capabilities through pre-attack business analysis, automatic defense during attacks, and continuous countermeasures. This can be organized into three specific aspects.
First, when a business connects to the Cloud Security 2.0 platform, AI automatically analyzes the domain logs to determine whether the business and its default policies are compatible. From this analysis, the platform offers suggested rule settings and exceptions that are uniquely suited to the organization’s business environment.

Second, the AI Central Engine learns and understands the business’ operations to create a baseline for AI analysis when planning current and future adaptive defense strategies. This baseline serves as the cornerstone for AI to analyze appropriate adaptive defense strategies. Using DDoS attacks as an example, when the AI Central Engine detects application-layer DDoS attacks that can threaten website business, AI automatically generates precise protection rules for the attack characteristics and deploys protection strategies to the edge to achieve continuous adaptive defense. If the protection baseline is not triggered, protection detection will not affect normal user access, ensuring a smooth user experience in non-attack scenarios.
Third, utilizing machine learning techniques, AI models are trained and tuned at scale to enhance the detection and response capabilities against hidden and difficult-to-detect threats. With this in mind, CDNetworks’ Bot Intelligent Risk Detection has been specifically designed to quickly identify and remedy malicious bot attacks according to their IP addresses. By continuously analyzing business traffic and supplementing the analysis of complex/human-like/human fraudulent traffic, Bot Intelligent Risk Detection generates dynamic strategies based on ever-changing threat models. These strategies combat constantly evolving threats and help organizations elevate their business security posture.
Shared-use Threat Intelligent Analysis Model
Two key elements that contribute to CDNetworks’ AI Central Engine powerful adaptive protection abilities are its threat intelligence library and scenario-based analysis capabilities. For this reason, the CDNetworks platform collects over 3 billion attack samples daily for big data analysis and machine learning. Using these samples, the platform can gather valuable and actionable threat intelligence data that can be utilized by CDNetworks’ customers. Unlike conventional solutions relying on third-party intelligence, our Cloud Security 2.0 platform offers accurately, timely protection due to its self-sourced intelligence.
