New Cybersecurity Challenges: Addressing Fraud Threats in the Digital Age

In the digital age, enterprises face increasingly severe cybersecurity challenges, particularly in the realms of large file distribution and online services. The frequent occurrence of fraud not only leads to substantial bandwidth costs but can also severely impact a company's reputation and user experience. Malicious users can exploit bandwidth for large-scale downloads, resulting in slower access speeds for legitimate users and even affecting service availability. This issue is particularly pronounced in scenarios involving gaming, video, and software updates, necessitating effective solutions to mitigate these risks and protect both business interests and user experiences.

Anti-Fraud: Accurately Identifying Malicious Bandwidth Abuse to Help Businesses Reduce Costs

To combat fraud threats, EdgeOne has introduced an anti-fraud feature. By analyzing traffic across the platform and extracting characteristic information related to fraudulent behavior, we have established a fraud intelligence database that enables precise identification of large-scale abnormal download activities for static resources. This allows for a seamless switch from "monitoring mode" to "blocking mode" with just one click. Whether it involves game installation packages, patch updates, or common large files like videos and images, anti-fraud can be activated immediately to intercept "low-frequency, high-volume" fraudulent activities from dispersed IP sources, effectively preventing exorbitant CDN bandwidth bills and excessive bandwidth resource consumption.

Specifically, the platform conducts multi-dimensional cross-analysis based on characteristics such as the IP address, User-Agent, and fingerprint of access requests, combined with user behavior. This analysis forms an intelligence database. Once matching fraudulent traffic is detected, corresponding protective measures are triggered immediately. Additionally, leveraging EdgeOne's policy customization capabilities, users can further configure rate limits or blocking measures to minimize the impact on legitimate download users, while also providing a visual statistical analysis interface for intuitive evaluation of protection effectiveness.

This capability not only helps enterprises effectively combat fraud in large file distribution scenarios but also saves valuable operational resources for webmasters and developers, significantly reducing operational costs. In the gaming industry, EdgeOne utilizes its extensive gaming network environment and a vast industry traffic intelligence database to provide more comprehensive and accurate fraud detection capabilities, enabling operational teams to more easily ensure the successful launch of new games and version updates, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.

Edge Developer Platform

Modern Web Development: A New Demand for Speed and Flexibility

In modern web development, speed and flexibility are the core objectives pursued by developers. With the rise of static site generators and the Jamstack model, development platforms need to meet not only hosting requirements but also dynamic computing capabilities, flexible configuration management, and efficient development toolchains. In response, EdgeOne has launched the Pages website hosting capability.

Pages Website Hosting: Rapidly Build and Deploy Static Sites and Serverless Applications

EdgeOne Pages is a front-end development and deployment platform built on Tencent EdgeOne infrastructure, specifically designed for modern web development. It helps developers quickly build and deploy static sites and serverless applications. By integrating edge function capabilities, it enables efficient content delivery and dynamic functionality expansion, supporting rapid access for global users.

Specifically, EdgeOne Pages is suitable for scenarios involving static and dynamic website hosting, as well as automated build and deployment processes. It is ideal for websites built using static generators like Next.js and Hexo, as well as single-page applications developed with modern front-end frameworks such as React and Vue. Furthermore, by integrating with code management platforms like GitHub, the platform automatically builds and deploys websites with each code commit, simplifying the deployment process and enhancing efficiency.

Notably, EdgeOne Pages also provides developers with more robust full-stack capabilities and a more convenient development experience, opening up new possibilities for building complex application scenarios. It allows for the deployment of dynamic APIs alongside single-page applications hosted on Pages, combined with serverless storage services to create integrated front-end and back-end projects, reducing traditional back-end dependencies. By aggregating multiple data sources at the edge and dynamically selecting data centers based on user location, it provides a unified API service. This not only simplifies front-end calling logic but also improves data request efficiency.

Additionally, by integrating edge KV and Functions, personalized recommendation content can be dynamically generated based on user geographic location or behavior records. This edge computing architecture significantly reduces back end load while shortening response times. For content that requires frequent updates or real-time generation, edge server-side rendering offers a solution that balances real-time capabilities with SEO friendliness, further optimizing performance through caching strategies. By leveraging edge computing to process user requests in real-time, rapid implementations of A/B testing, traffic splitting, dynamic authentication, content access control, and lightweight interactive applications such as surveys and polls can be achieved.

The efficient deployment process of EdgeOne Pages significantly reduces the time from coding to deployment, ensuring rapid project iteration and enabling businesses to swiftly respond to market demands. Moreover, there is no need to configure and manage servers or other infrastructure; developers can write ultra-low-latency server-side logic using JavaScript at edge nodes close to users.

EdgeOne will continue to focus on technological innovation and product optimization, providing developers with more stable, secure, and efficient services. We aim to offer solid support for your technical projects, facilitating breakthroughs and innovations in the digital age through continuous technological iteration and improvement.
