The Triggers tool is now available for WAF

We are introducing a new Gcore WAF tool, Triggers, available in the control panel.

What are Triggers?

This new tool allows you to customize your notifications and add reactions to some WAF events. With Triggers, you can:

  • receive alerts about attacks, individual hits, or detected incidents via email;
  • block IP addresses from which many regular requests or requests containing a payload (attack vector) were sent;
  • detect and block behavioral attacks (such as brute force, forced browsing, and BOLA);
  • group hits with the same IP address into a single event.

Check out our guide for other Triggers features and how to use them.
