Security profile is the main component in Smart Web Security. The profile consists of a set of rules, each including conditions for actions applied to HTTP requests received by the resource being protected.
You can create a profile:
- From a preset template. Preconfigured profiles include:
- Basic default rule enabled for all traffic.
- Smart Protection rule enabled for all traffic with the Full protection action type.
- From scratch. This profile includes only the basic default rule enabled for all traffic.
You can connect a security profile to the Yandex Application Load Balancer L7 load balancer's virtual hosts. For more information, see Managing virtual host connections.
For details on working with profiles, see Managing security profiles.
