Access to the Custom Rules Builder

You can take control of your site's security by crafting rules that precisely align with your unique needs and preferences, and manage your custom rules.

Shield's Custom Rules Builder offers a dynamic and flexible approach to security by replacing an extensive set of configuration options with a concise set of rules. Each rule consists of conditions and consequences, defining actions to be taken when specific conditions are met. This approach eliminates the need for constant configuration updates.

You can

1. Build custom rules to meet all your security needs ("New Custom Rule" option)
2. View, edit, disable, remove custom security rules ("Custom Rules Manager" option)
