StackPath Edge Security is a cloud computing platform designed to provide a comprehensive suite of security services at the internet's edge. According to the vendor, this platform caters to businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises, and is used by various professionals and industries, including IT professionals, web developers, network administrators, e-commerce companies, and the media and entertainment industry.

## Key Features

**DDoS Protection**: According to the vendor, StackPath Edge Security offers robust DDoS protection to mitigate and defend against large-scale distributed denial-of-service attacks, ensuring the availability and performance of websites and applications.

**Web Application Firewall (WAF)**: StackPath Edge Security includes a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that, according to the vendor, protects web applications from a wide range of security threats, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and remote file inclusion. The WAF analyzes incoming HTTP and HTTPS traffic, applies rule sets and security policies, and blocks malicious requests, aiming to prevent data breaches and unauthorized access.

**Bot Manager**: According to the vendor, StackPath Edge Security offers a Bot Manager that detects and manages automated bot traffic, including malicious bots and scrapers, while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through. The Bot Manager employs machine learning algorithms and behavior analysis to identify and block malicious bots, aiming to protect websites and applications from content scraping, account takeover, and fraud.

**EdgeSSL®**: StackPath Edge Security provides EdgeSSL®, a fully managed SSL/TLS certificate solution that, according to the vendor, enables secure communication between clients and servers. The vendor states that EdgeSSL® offers a simplified certificate management process, automatic certificate provisioning and renewal, and supports modern encryption protocols, aiming to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data in transit.

**EdgeRules™**: StackPath Edge Security includes EdgeRules™, a powerful rules engine that, according to the vendor, allows users to customize and control the behavior of their website or application at the edge. With EdgeRules™, users can create rules to redirect traffic, modify headers, cache specific content, block access to certain resources, and perform other advanced edge computing tasks, according to the vendor.

**CDN (Content Delivery Network)**: StackPath Edge Security incorporates a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that, according to the vendor, accelerates the delivery of web content to end-users by caching and serving it from strategically located edge servers. The CDN aims to reduce latency, improve website performance, and enhance the user experience by delivering content from the nearest edge server, regardless of the user's geographic location, according to the vendor.

**Serverless Scripting**: StackPath Edge Security offers Serverless Scripting, a feature that, according to the vendor, allows users to execute custom scripts at the edge of the network without the need for server infrastructure. With Serverless Scripting, users can perform real-time processing, manipulate requests and responses, implement custom logic, and integrate with third-party services, aiming to enhance the functionality and performance of their applications, according to the vendor.

**Image Optimization**: StackPath Edge Security includes Image Optimization capabilities that, according to the vendor, automatically optimize and deliver images in the most efficient format and size for each end-user device. The Image Optimization feature aims to reduce image file sizes, improve website loading times, and conserve bandwidth, resulting in a faster and more responsive user experience, according to the vendor.

**Origin Shield**: StackPath Edge Security provides an Origin Shield feature that, according to the vendor, acts as a protective layer between the origin server and the CDN edge servers. The Origin Shield caches and shields the origin server from excessive requests, aiming to reduce the load on the origin infrastructure and improve its scalability and resilience, according to the vendor.

StackPath Edge Security includes device-level fingerprinting, diverse DDoS attack profiling, and globally synchronized threat detection and mitigation reduces false-positives and catches sophisticated and emerging threats.
