Introducing enhanced archiving capabilities for security action items within the Security Overview dashboard. This update allows security teams to maintain a cleaner workspace by removing resolved, accepted, or irrelevant items from their active list while maintaining a clear paper trail for compliance.
Managing a high volume of security insights can be overwhelming. Previously, users lacked a structured way to dismiss items without losing the context of why they were ignored.
With these new archiving options—False Positive, Accept Risk, and Other—you can now suppress items indefinitely with required rationale text for risk-based decisions. This ensures that your team remains focused on critical, actionable vulnerabilities while preserving institutional knowledge for audits.
- Structured Archiving: Choose from specific categories to define why an action item is being moved.
- Required Rationale: For "Accept Risk" and "Other" categories, users must provide documentation, ensuring accountability for security decisions.
- Audit Log Transparency: New API endpoints allow you to programmatically retrieve the history of status changes and rationale for any insight at the account or zone level.
- Reversible Actions: Any archived item can be moved back to the active list at any time if the security context changes.
To review the history and rationale of a specific archived issue at the account level, you can use the following API command:
Terminal window curl "[https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/](https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/){account_id}/insights/{insight_id}/audit-log" \-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \-H "Content-Type: application/json"
The Security Overview has been updated to provide Application Security customers with more actionable insights and a clearer view of their security posture.
Key improvements include:
- Criticality for all Insights: Every insight now includes a criticality rating, allowing you to prioritize the most impactful security action items first.
- Detection Tools Section: A new section displays the security detection tools available to you, indicating which are currently enabled and which can be activated to strengthen your defenses.
- Industry Peer Comparison (Enterprise customers): A new module from Security Reports benchmarks your security posture against industry peers, highlighting relative strengths and areas for improvement.
