  • Set the score threshold. The available thresholds are: Low - 60 and higher, Medium - 40 and higher (default), or High - 25 and higher.
  • Set the action to perform. The action is executed when the calculated request threat score is greater than the score threshold. The available actions are: Block (default), Managed Challenge, JS Challenge, Log, and Interactive Challenge.
  • Disable specific rules or rules with specific tags.
  • Customize the filter expression. With a custom expression, the Cloudflare OWASP Core Ruleset applies only to a subset of the incoming requests.
