Which Protection Rules Are Included in the System-Generated Policy?

When you add a website to WAF, you can select an existing policy you have created or the system-generated policy. For details, see Table 1.

If you are using WAF standard edition, only System-generated policy can be selected.

You can also tailor your protection rules after the domain name is connected to WAF.
