Protecting an AEM Edge Delivery Services Site: Site Tokens, CDN Authentication, and the OIDC Beta

Edge Delivery Services sites are public by default, which is wrong for a staging site, a partner portal, or an intranet. This post walks through the access-control options Adobe documents: token-based site authentication, CDN-level Basic authentication (GA, but not for live production domains), and OIDC sign-in (currently Beta). It also covers the limits Adobe states, like authentication only (no authorization) and whole-site-only protection, plus the documented fix when the Universal Editor starts returning 401.

AEM + AI Security: Catching Vulnerabilities Before Release, Not After an Incident

Most AEM security incidents aren’t sophisticated zero-days they’re known CVEs that sat in a dependency tree for months, or an injection pattern in custom code that a rushed review missed. This post shows how continuous dependency/CVE scanning on every build, AI-reviewed pull requests for AEM-specific risk patterns (advisory only, human-confirmed), and production anomaly detection close the gap between quarterly audits, without ever auto-remediating a live instance without a security engineer’s sign-off.

AEM + AI Commerce: Scaling Product Content and Recommendations Across Tens of Thousands of SKUs

A catalog with 40,000 SKUs and a copywriting team of three means most products ship with a manufacturer’s spec sheet as the entire product page. This post shows how Claude API drafts product copy strictly from supplied attributes (no invented specs), Adobe Sensei delivers session-aware recommendations instead of static rules, and AEM keeps AI-generated content and live Adobe Commerce pricing/inventory on separate refresh paths that converge cleanly at render time closing the long-tail content gap without adding headcount.
