Traditional security systems often rely on static rules and threshold-based detection methods to identify suspicious activity, which can result in high false positive rates and delayed responses to evolving threats. In contrast, CDNetworks’ AI Engine continuously analyzes vast volumes of data using adaptive machine learning models.

The core workflow of our AI Engine is structured around four main stages:

1. Baseline Profiling

Every website has its own unique traffic patterns and behaviors. In order to provide effective and tailored protection for your website, our AI Engine begins by monitoring traffic trends across dynamic traffic dimensions, such as request rates, user agents, and IP geolocation. By doing so, it builds a clear understanding of your website’s normal activity and establishes a behavioral baseline within a few hours. Importantly, this baseline is continuously refined and updated on an hourly basis, ensuring ongoing accuracy and adaptive protection that evolves with emerging threats.

2. Real-time Threat Detection

As traffic flows through our global edge network, the AI Engine continuously compares it against the established baseline to identify anomalies that could indicate malicious behavior. Because the baseline is dynamically updated, the AI Engine is capable of detecting sophisticated and low-and-slow attacks immediately that might otherwise evade traditional rule-based systems. This advanced capability ensures early and precise detection of both known and unknown threats.

3. Automated Response

Upon detection of malicious activity, the AI Engine promptly initiates automated mitigation without human intervention. It begins by enforcing predefined rules to deliver immediate protection and contain the threat. If the attack escalates beyond baseline thresholds, new targeted defense policies are automatically generated and pushed across our global edge network within seconds. Throughout the process, the AI Engine continuously monitors traffic patterns, fine-tuning defenses in real time until full mitigation is achieved.

4. Continuous Learning

A core strength of our AI Engine in the face of today’s evolving threat landscape is its ability to continuously learn and adapt. It draws on two primary data sources: an average of 3 billion daily attack samples collected from our global edge network and insights from our Threat Intelligence library.

Powered by advanced machine learning, the AI Engine continuously learns from this rich dataset to fine-tune baselines and adjust protection strategies as threats evolve. This adaptability ensures our security system stays up-to-date with emerging threats, without additional human efforts required, allowing your business to benefit from robust defense and enhanced cyber resilience.

Key Advantages of Incorporating AI for Cybersecurity

The AI-powered capabilities of CDNetworks’ Cloud Security 2.0 platform deliver key benefits that significantly enhance your organization’s cybersecurity posture:

Faster Threat Detection

CDNetworks enables faster identification of threats through continuous traffic monitoring and analysis powered by machine learning. This allows organizations to quickly identify and mitigate sophisticated threats such as low-and-slow DDoS attacks, bot scraping, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), and zero-day exploits, reducing response times and minimizing the risk of business disruption.

Proactive Defense Against Emerging Threats

Traditional defenses struggle to keep up with new attack methods. CDNetworks’ adaptive AI models analyze evolving behaviors and detect emerging threats at an early stage. This proactive approach reduces exposure to unknown risks and strengthens your organization’s overall security posture.

Reduced False Positives

Through dynamic baseline profiling tailored to each customer’s unique traffic environment, CDNetworks minimizes false alerts and improves detection precision. This contextual awareness significantly lowers the volume of false positives, enabling your security teams to focus resources on genuine threats rather than being overwhelmed by unnecessary alerts.

Greater Operational Efficiency

With CDNetworks’ AI-powered capabilities handling threat detection, analysis, and policy tuning, your security team is no longer burdened with chasing false alarms or writing reactive rules. freeing up IT and security teams while maintaining strong, always-on protection.
