Advanced Global CDN Features
Domain Masking
With domain masking, brands with multiple websites can combine their online experience under a single domain - to create a seamless user experience. By leveraging domain masking, businesses can combine new sites and legacy sites, without having to wait months for a traditional site relaunch.
Geolocation Detection and Blocking
Regain control of your brand and intellectual property with fast and accurate location-based blocking and redirection. Save resources, improve security, and maintain compliance with routing that takes place at the edge, before your CMS ever starts.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Stay on message and ensure site integrity with a custom web application firewall. Pantheon's WAF inspects each uncached request in excruciating detail and rapidly applies rules to keep your online presence stable.
IP Allow/Blocklisting
Keep the wraps on your latest product launch, while holding competitors and intellectual property thieves at bay. Easily manage IP address lists and restrict access to your development and test environments to just your team.
Edge Logging
Gain visibility into the security of your site and take action on your site’s end-to-end traffic with access to edge logs and tools to merge and synchronize edge and server logs.
Custom Rules and Redirects
Our Advanced CDN unlocks the ability to implement custom site rules including bespoke cookie-handling, URL rate-limiting, header modifications and filters, and URL and query string sorting and filtering.
With Pantheon's Advanced Global CDN, Adaptive was able to reduce 30 discrete WAF configurations down to one. We were also able to cut our infrastructure team resourcing from four people to one, repurposing the staff into other key areas of the business.Dan Frost , Managing Director, Adaptive
