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" option)
2. View, edit, disable, remove custom security rules ("Manage" option)
3. View all active rules on your site at-a-glance ("Summary" option)
