It secures your application with protection against distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks and web application attacks with an enterprise-grade security solution that examines web traffic looking for suspicious activities. Edge WAAP includes Edge CDN.
Edge Bot Manager: Provides an added layer onto Edge Security, enabling you to gain heightened visibility and control of bot traffic to your digital experiences. A flexible framework to better manage the wide array of bots accessing their websites every day. Identify bots as they first arrive, categorize different types of bots, and apply the most appropriate management policy for each category. Edge Bot Management includes Edge WAAP and Edge CDN.
