Summary

Cloudflare is revisiting its Application Security features, breaking away from artificial product boundaries and introducing a unified platform with one cohesive UI. This unification aims to simplify security configurations, detect threats faster, and maintain consistent protection across all aspects of an application. The new experience focuses on signals and detections, providing intelligence about the traffic, and security rules that let users combine these signals to block, challenge, or perform actions on web traffic. The unified approach ensures attackers have a harder time finding a way in, making it easier for security practitioners to adopt features and implement effective security postures. The new dashboard includes an overview page that aggregates and prioritizes security suggestions across all web assets, simplified analytics, a new web assets page, a single Security Rules page, and a settings page with advanced control based on security needs. The unified platform enables rapid build of new use-case driven threat detections and precise control over how Cloudflare responds to potential threats. Users can experience the new navigation by logging in to the Cloudflare dashboard and clicking on "Check it out".
