Turning Cloudflare’s threat indicators into real-time WAF rules
Cloudflare now lets customers use Cloudforce One threat intelligence directly in WAF rules.
Cloudflare customers can now apply Cloudforce One threat intelligence inside the WAF to block high-risk traffic. New cf.intel fields let security teams automate protections based on specific threat actors and targeted industries. The update turns threat indicators into real-time enforcement signals, reducing the gap between intelligence and active blocking.
This Cloudflare announcement explains that customers can now use Cloudforce One threat intelligence directly within Cloudflare WAF, leveraging a new cf.intel field to block high-risk requests in real-time traffic decisions. In the past, threat intelligence often required security teams to separately consult and interpret data before manually converting it into firewall rules or detection logic; the core value of this update is transforming that intelligence into conditions WAF can use directly, bringing protective actions closer to real-time.
