Cloudflare Advanced Rate Limiting
Granular controls to block abuse
Advanced rate limiting protects against denial-of-service attacks, brute-force login attempts, API traffic surges and other types of abuse targeting APIs and applications.
Advanced Rate Limiting is integrated with our Web Application Firewall (WAF) and is part of Cloudflare’s application security portfolio.
BENEFITS OF RATE LIMITING
Mitigate DDoS attacks
Stop high-precision layer 7 attacks with granular configuration options.
Ensure API availability
Identify abusive traffic with high accuracy by rate limiting traffic based on any parameter of a request.
Protect customer data
Defend against brute force login attacks seeking to take over accounts and steal sensitive information.
Rely on transparent pricing
Avoid unpredictable costs associated with traffic spikes and enumeration attacks. We will not charge you for usage when you are under volumetric attack.
Pick the right option for you
Konfigurasikan Ambang Batas
Lindungi URL situs web atau titik akhir API Anda dari permintaan mencurigakan yang melebihi ambang batas yang ditetapkan. Opsi konfigurasi granular meliputi batas permintaan, metode permintaan, dan lainnya.
Tentukan Respons
Pengunjung situs web dan API yang mencapai ambang batas permintaan yang ditetapkan dapat memicu respons khusus, seperti tindakan mitigasi (tantangan atau CAPTCHA), kode respons (Error 401 - Tanpa Wewenang), batas waktu, dan pemblokiran.

Gartner® named Cloudflare a Representative Vendor in Web Application and API Protection
Cloudflare has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for WAAP report. We believe this recognition validates that we protect against emerging threats faster, offer tighter integration of security capabilities, and deliver powerful ease of use and deployment.
What our customers are saying
“When other companies experienced a data leak, the attackers would often try the stolen email and password combinations on our sites. We always knew when there was another attack, but it was business as usual because Cloudflare detected and stopped it before it became a problem.”
