Penalty box

akamai_appsec_penalty_box

Modifies the penalty box settings for a security policy. When the penalty box is enabled for a policy, clients that trigger a WAF Deny action are placed in the “penalty box”. There, the action you select for penalty box (either Alert or Deny ) continues to apply to any requests from that client for the next 10 minutes.

Scopes: Security policy

Example
