WAF Statistics
The statistics page shows attacks identified and blocked by the web application firewall (WAF). This includes the top 5 attack types and top 5 attack sources.
You can also choose the action taken on future threats from the same source. SOCaaP Web Protection updates your WAF rules accordingly.
