Application Scenario

Cloud Security 2.0 is designed for organizations that require both strong security protection and reliable service delivery. It applies to industries with high traffic, high-value transactions, strict compliance requirements, or complex attack exposure. The following scenarios describe common situations where Cloud Security 2.0 is applied.

E-Commerce & Retail

Business Background: Peak events such as Black Friday, holiday campaigns, and flash sales can generate traffic spikes that are tens or hundreds of times higher than normal. These periods also attract automated abuse and fraud, which can directly impact revenue and customer experience.

Common threats:

• Scalping bots — Automated tools instantly consume limited inventory before real users can complete purchases
• Credential stuffing and account takeover (ATO): Attackers use leaked credentials to access accounts and steal coupons, points, or stored balances.
• Promotion abuse: Automated scripts exploit discounts or campaigns for arbitrage.
• Price scraping: Competitors use crawlers to monitor real-time pricing, weakening competitive advantage.

Solution:
Cloud Security 2.0 identifies and blocks automated traffic, protects login and transaction interfaces, and maintains stable service during high concurrency. This ensures fair promotions and reliable transactions for legitimate users.

Gaming and Digital Entertainment

Business Background: Online games and interactive services require extremely low latency and high availability. Even short delays or disconnections may lead to user churn. At the same time, these services are frequent targets of DDoS and automated attacks.

Common threats:

• L7 targeted attacks — High-frequency requests against login, matchmaking, or game API endpoints degrade performance and exhaust backend resources
• Resource exhaustion — Fake registrations or automated requests overload databases and application servers.
• Script and bot abuse — Automated clients repeatedly call game APIs to farm in-game rewards, manipulate leaderboards, or scrape data

Solution:
Cloud Security 2.0 mitigates L3-L7 attacks on the global edge network, enabling millisecond-level blocking. This ensures uninterrupted service for gamers without impacting latency.

Finance and Insurance

Business Background: Financial and insurance services rely heavily on APIs and mobile applications for transactions and data exchange. These interfaces process sensitive information and must comply with strict regulatory standards, making them key attack targets.

Common threats:

• Shadow APIs — Undocumented or legacy API endpoints that bypass security controls and expose sensitive data
• API abuse and scraping — Automated clients extract financial data or probe system behavior at high frequency
• Compliance gaps — Insufficient logging, access controls, or vulnerability coverage creates audit and regulatory risk

Solution:
Cloud Security 2.0 automatically discovers and protects API assets, validates request structures and parameters, and blocks unauthorized access. Detailed logs and reports support audit and compliance requirements.

Cross-Border and Government Portals

Business Background: Official websites and portals represent an organization’s credibility and public image. They often become targets during major events or sensitive periods.

Common threats:

• Content tampering and malware injection — Attackers exploit web vulnerabilities to modify page content or inject malicious scripts targeting visitors
• Data scraping — Crawlers systematically collect published content, contact information, or internal data for misuse
• Multi-stage attacks — Volumetric DDoS attacks are used as cover while application-layer exploits target vulnerabilities simultaneously
• Zero-day vulnerabilities — Newly disclosed CVEs create windows of exposure before patches can be deployed

Solution:
Cloud Security 2.0 provides real-time protection with adaptive WAF policies and continuous threat detection. It prevents tampering and data leakage, ensuring stable and secure public services.
