Custom and CIS-managed list support
You can now create and manage custom lists or use CIS-managed lists through the API. You can list all managed and custom lists, create a custom list, retrieve or update an existing custom list, or delete one you no longer need. List items can also be managed with the API: you can get, create, update, or delete individual items, update all items at once, retrieve a single list item, or check the status of a list operation.

Learn more about managed and custom lists and explore the available API methods to start integrating these capabilities into your workflow.

Ruleset Engine migration

Two existing features are now part of the Ruleset Engine rules language, and have been updated to use the Rulesets API (similar to WAF-managed rules):

  • Firewall rules: Now known as WAF custom rules, these rules provide similar protections to the previous handling, but also include a few extra features. For more information, see Migrating to WAF custom rules.

  • Rate-limiting rules: The new version of these rules allows you to apply rate-limiting to more specific kinds of traffic. For more information, see Migrating to new rate-limiting rules.
