New Firewall Tab and Analytics

This post introduces a significant UI and feature enhancement to Cloudflare's Firewall product. It details the reorganization of existing firewall features into new tabs (Events, Firewall Rules, Managed Rules, Tools, Settings, and an Overview tab with Firewall Analytics). The core technical contribution is the introduction of Firewall Analytics for Enterprise customers, which provides visualization and analysis of firewall events. The post outlines a workflow demonstrating how to use these analytics to identify the source of security events, such as a spike in 'Block' events triggered by an Access Rule's Country Block, and drill down to specific IP addresses and targeted paths. It also highlights the ability to filter events and use user-defined filters for detailed analysis.
