Traffic filter rules can be used to block or allow requests at the CDN layer, which may be useful in scenarios such as:
- Restricting access to specific domains to internal company traffic, before a new site goes live
- Establishing rate limits to be less susceptible to volumetric DoS attacks
- Preventing IP addresses known to be malicious from targeting your pages
Many of these traffic filter rules are available to all AEM as a Cloud Service Sites and Forms customers.
