New! Rate Limiting analytics and throttling
Sep 19, 2023Radwa Radwan, Daniele Molteni

Summary
Introduced Rate Limit Analysis within Security Analytics to provide data-driven insights for setting rate limiting thresholds. This includes analyzing request rates based on IP, JA3 fingerprint, or a combination, over various time intervals. Also introduced a new 'throttle' behavior for rate limiting rules, which selectively drops requests to maintain a defined rate threshold, as an alternative to the 'fixed action' behavior.
