Making Application Security simple with a new unified dashboard experience

This post introduces a unified dashboard experience for Cloudflare's Application Security features, breaking down traditional product silos. It defines three core concepts: web traffic (data), signals/detections (metadata), and security rules. It explains how all application security products can be viewed as generating signals (metadata) from web traffic (data), which are then used by security rules to perform actions. This enables 'always-on detections' and a unified rule system. The post details the new dashboard's overview, analytics, web assets management, and security rules pages, emphasizing simplified configuration and improved threat detection by combining signals like bot score and attack score.
