Protection Rule	Description
Basic web protection rules	With an extensive reputation database, WAF defends against Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) top 10 threats, and detects and blocks threats, such as malicious scanners, IP addresses, and web shells.
CC attack protection rules	CC attack protection rules can be customized to restrict access to a specific URL on your website based on a unique IP address, cookie, or referer field, mitigating CC attacks.
Precise protection rules	WAF allows you to customize protection rules by combining HTTP headers, cookies, URLs, request parameters, and client IP addresses.
Blacklist and whitelist rules	You can configure blacklist and whitelist rules to block, log only, or allow access requests from specified IP addresses.
Geolocation access control rules	You can customize these rules to allow or block requests from a specific country or region.
Web tamper protection rules	You can configure these rules to prevent a static web page from being tampered with.
Website anti-crawler protection	This function dynamically analyzes website service models and accurately identifies crawler behavior based on data risk control and bot identification systems, such as JS Challenge.
Information leakage prevention rules	You can add two types of information leakage prevention rules. Sensitive information filtering: prevents disclosure of sensitive information (such as ID numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses). Response code interception: blocks the specified HTTP status codes.
Global protection whitelist rules	This function ignores certain attack detection rules for specific requests.
Data masking rules	You can configure data masking rules to prevent sensitive data such as passwords from being displayed in event logs.
