WAF, TLS hardening, and domain controls at your public edge. Edge Security

Is this only for websites, or does it cover AI nodes and admin portals too?

The edge is the public boundary for whatever sits behind it: web apps, APIs, admin portals, client portals, workloads, and anything else reached via a public hostname. Hardening that boundary (WAF, TLS, access controls, domain trust) covers the assets behind it. The work is the same regardless of what application or system lives behind the edge.

What does FEDLIN's edge security implementation cover?

Cloudflare WAF configuration and ruleset tuning, TLS hardening, security headers, DMARC/SPF/DKIM deployment, DNSSEC, CAA records, DDoS protection, and CSP engineering. Controls are deployed via an automated configuration system, brought live with validation and evidence artifacts produced as part of the implementation.

Do you only support Cloudflare, or can you work with our existing cloud environment?

Cloudflare is the default for most engagements: it offers the widest WAF ruleset, post-quantum TLS at the edge, and global DDoS absorption. For organizations already invested in Azure, AWS, or GCP, FEDLIN engineers the same controls in native form: Azure WAF and Entra ID Conditional Access, AWS WAF and Shield Advanced, GCP Cloud Armor and Identity-Aware Proxy. The controls and evidence artifacts are consistent across platforms. Platform choice is confirmed on the initial scoping call.

What is post-quantum-aware key exchange and why does it matter for web infrastructure?

Cloudflare negotiates ML-KEM hybrid TLS (X25519+ML-KEM-768) at the edge: a key exchange mechanism that remains secure against quantum-era cryptanalysis. FEDLIN verifies correct negotiation, documents the cryptographic posture, and produces evidence artifacts for engagements where long-term cryptographic validity is an architectural requirement.

What's the relationship between NIST CSF and the controls implemented here?

NIST CSF's Protect function (specifically PR.AC and PR.DS) maps directly to edge and domain controls. NIST 800-53 SC and SI control families are what get implemented at the infrastructure layer. CSF gives the posture language; the deployed controls produce the evidence.

Does edge security produce GRC-ready evidence?

Every control implemented produces structured artifacts: WAF configuration documentation, TLS validation records, DMARC enforcement reports, header scan results, formatted for ingestion into Vanta or equivalent GRC platforms. Controls are attributed to the specific framework requirements they satisfy at implementation time.

Does edge security stand alone or does it require a broader engagement?

Edge Security stands alone and is also available as part of a broader engagement sequence. Scope is confirmed on the initial call based on your current infrastructure and what the architecture requires.

What's the difference between A and A+ ratings on Mozilla Observatory?

An A+ on Mozilla Observatory requires all critical security headers configured at their strongest settings: HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload, a strict Content Security Policy, correct CORS headers, and Permissions-Policy. An A indicates most headers are present but some are missing or misconfigured. Enterprise security questionnaires and some compliance frameworks explicitly reference A+ as a benchmark, particularly when evaluating vendor web security posture.
