Managed Rules
Cloudflare provides pre-configured managed rulesets that protect against web application exploits such as the following:

- Top-10 attack techniques
- Use of stolen/leaked credentials
- Extraction of sensitive data
Managed rulesets are regularly updated. Each rule has a default action that varies according to the severity of the rule. You can adjust the behavior of specific rules, choosing from several possible actions.
