Security Edge Inline Overview

The Security Edge platform provides a managed service for deploying Wallarm Nodes across geographically distributed locations within a Wallarm-hosted environment. One of its key deployment options is inline deployment, offering real-time, robust protection for your entire API landscape without the need for any onsite installation.

Use cases

This is an ideal solution for securing APIs when:

  • You are looking for a fully managed security solution with minimal operational complexity.

  • You can route traffic via DNS to Wallarm.

How it works

With Security Edge Inline, your API traffic is routed through Wallarm's globally distributed Points of Presence (PoPs), where Wallarm Nodes are deployed, hosted, and managed by Wallarm.

  • DNS-based traffic redirection: you configure your DNS to point your API domains to Wallarm Edge Node.

  • PoP selection and routing: requests are directed to the nearest available PoP based on latency or your selected region(s).

  • Real-time inspection and filtering: the inline Node analyzes incoming requests and blocks malicious ones before forwarding legitimate traffic to your origin servers.

  • Multi-cloud and multi-region: you can deploy inline Nodes across different cloud regions for high availability and geo-redundancy.

  • Automatic scaling and updates: Wallarm handles Node scaling, updates, and maintenance - no action required on your side.
