Announcing WAF Attack Score Lite and Security Analytics for business customers

On March 15, 2023, Cloudflare announced the release of "WAF Attack Score Lite" and "Security Analytics" for its Business plan customers. The company initially released these features for Enterprise customers in December 2022. WAF Attack Score is a machine learning layer that complements managed rules to detect unknown attacks, providing an extra layer of protection during the time gap between rule updates. It currently focuses on three types of attacks: SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and Remote Code Execution (RCE). WAF Attack Score Lite features include attack detection, mitigation through custom rules or rate limiting, and visibility over traffic through Security Analytics dashboard. These features do not block traffic automatically but offer insights to create blocking rules.
