Support for Static IP address

When we (as an Optimizely DXP customer) expose APIs for partner vendors to invoke, including the Optimizely DXP, we need to ensure that we meet The Group’s security standards and one of the many facets to this is IP whitelisting.

This means we don’t allow just any IP address to invoke our API. We have a firewall that implements a check on the incoming IP address(es) and only allow ones that we know of.

It is a problem if the Optimizely DXP cannot provide us with persistent IP address ranges that we can whitelist on our side. We don’t want our firewall rejecting traffic that are valid form submissions as this would mean losing leads and has material business impact. At the same time we also need to ensure that we do not compromise on security by not implementing any whitelist or implementing a whitelist that is too wide.
