Modern security and visibility for AEM, without replacing your stack
IDO Edge puts the full suite in front of your fullstack AEM site - on AEM as a Cloud Service or AEM 6.5 - delivery, security, monitoring and dashboards - and adds frontend hosting when you go headless. Web security, global delivery, live dashboards and native performance in Mainland China, run as one suite.
Book a demoYour AEM site works.
The layer in front of it is the gap.
Most AEM sites render their own pages - and the platform does that job well.
What sits in front of it usually grew piece by piece: a CDN from one vendor, a WAF left on its default rules, monitoring in another tool. Each was set up once, and nobody owns how they fit together.
Teams that go headless add one more decision: the frontend now needs its own home, often on a general-purpose platform such as Vercel or Netlify - built for developer speed, not the governance an enterprise AEM deployment needs.
AEM delivery needs to meet enterprise security standards, scale under real production traffic and reach markets like Mainland China natively, not through a workaround.
For teams already running AEM at scale, that gap becomes their own to close.
Enterprise security and delivery for AEM,
with nothing to re-platform.
IDO Edge puts the full suite in front of your fullstack AEM site - delivery, security, monitoring, dashboards and White Glove Enterprise Service - with nothing to re-platform.
Going headless? IDO Edge adds frontend hosting, for the frontend served by AEM's GraphQL API. Security is actively managed, and support is backed by SLAs. China delivery for AEM is available as an optional addition, giving Chinese visitors native performance through real in-country PoPs - and your AEM CDN needs are met through IDO Edge's global network, spanning more than 250 points of presence.
AEM as a Cloud Service includes an Adobe-managed CDN, and Adobe supports routing publish traffic through a customer-managed CDN in front of it. IDO Edge manages everything your visitors load on top - the CDN, security, monitoring and China delivery, run as one managed layer rather than a CDN on its own.
For deployments that need infrastructure of their own, IDO Edge Dedicated is available - reserved, single-tenant resources with region-specific data controls, detailed below.
Why enterprises choose IDO Edge for AEM
China Delivery
Extend your site into Mainland China with native infrastructure - not a specialist vendor bolted on afterwards.
Best-in-class web security
A managed WAF, DDoS protection and RADR, matured over four weeks to block more than 95% of malicious traffic.
IDO Edge Dedicated
Reserved infrastructure with no shared resources, encrypted logs stored in a region you choose, and Private PoPs where traffic must stay in-country.
Co-managed through White Glove Enterprise Service
Automation handles the routine tuning; hands-on specialists handle the rest, from onboarding through daily operations - you stay in control throughout.
IDO Edge also runs Sitecore, Optimizely, Umbraco, Magento, Drupal, Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok and custom platforms, and is available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
IDO Edge runs the full suite in front of Adobe Experience Manager - and adds frontend hosting when you go headless.
Ecosystem advantage
Amplify your AEM investment with a purpose-built layer in front of it - the full suite in one place, with frontend hosting when you go headless and China delivery available.
Fullstack or headless
Whether AEM renders its own pages or serves a headless frontend, IDO Edge works with the AEM setup you already have.
Accelerated time-to-value
Go faster without compromise. One DNS change routes your AEM traffic through IDO Edge, with CDN and WAF monitoring live from the first request and RADR active by week four.

From proof of concept to go-live in days
Getting AEM frontend hosting live through IDO Edge is not a migration project: there is no re-platforming and no new console for your team to run.
Live and connected from day one
Day one
Share the domain and make one DNS change, timed to your change management. We verify reachability, prepare the edge certificate and secure the origin connection before routing switches over. CDN, image optimisation, logging, DDoS mitigation and WAF monitoring go live from the first request.
Your WAF, matured by week four
By week four
Hands-on specialists tune your WAF to your traffic and move it to full enforcement, with RADR active as the final stage and typically blocking more than 95% of malicious traffic before it reaches your origin.
Optimised for as long as you stay
Ongoing
IDO Edge keeps tuning your setup as your estate changes. Automation handles the easy path, while specialists step in where it diverges through the White Glove Enterprise Service.

The option to add China delivery, using native infrastructure inside Mainland China instead of a specialist vendor.
