Protection level of basic web protection

  • 1: Low. At this protection level, WAF blocks only requests with obvious attack features. If a large number of false alarms have been reported, Low is recommended.

  • 2: Medium. This protection level meets web protection requirements in most scenarios.

  • 3: High. At this protection level, WAF provides the finest granular protection and can intercept attacks with complex bypass features, such as Jolokia cyber attacks, common gateway interface (CGI) vulnerability detection, and Druid SQL injection attacks.

Default: 2

Enumeration values:

  • 1

  • 2

  • 3

full_detection

Boolean

  • false: Instant detection. When a request hits the blocking conditions in Precise Protection, WAF terminates checks and blocks the request immediately.

  • true: Full detection. If a request hits the blocking conditions in Precise Protection, WAF does not block the request immediately. Instead, it blocks the requests until other checks are finished.
