Security Edge

Security Edge is Wallarm's managed deployment option allowing you to protect your APIs and applications without hosting the Wallarm Node yourself. You redirect traffic to Wallarm's globally distributed Edge infrastructure, where the traffic is filtered and securely forwarded to your backend.

The Node is hosted and operated by Wallarm, reducing infrastructure overhead for your team.

Key benefits

Security Edge service provides a secure cloud environment where Wallarm Nodes are deployed, hosted, and managed by Wallarm:

  • Fully managed solution with minimal operational complexity.

  • Turnkey deployment: minimal setup is required for Wallarm to automatically deploy Nodes across globally distributed locations.

  • Autoscaling: Nodes automatically scale horizontally to handle varying traffic loads, with no manual configuration needed.

  • Reduced costs: lower operational overhead with Wallarm-managed Nodes, allowing faster deployment and scalability.

  • Seamless integration: simple configuration, allowing you to protect your API landscape without disruptions.

  • Global network of PoPs and latency-based DNS steering: traffic is routed through Wallarm's distributed Points of Presence, located close to your users.
