When a new custom hostname is added to a Project it will have the default settings applied. But you can change the defaults for your Project, so new custom hostnames will get the default settings you have chosen.

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution designed to protect web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between them and the Internet. Common attacks like cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and file inclusion are mitigated by acting as a shield between the web application and potential threats. For more detailed information, please refer to our [WAF section](web-application-firewall.md).

## Web Application Firewall Sensitivity
34+
35+
The Umbraco Cloud WAF supports sensitivity configuration, extending the default [WAF](web-application-firewall.md) protection. **Low** sensitivity WAF configuration will block malicious requests with high confidence. **High** sensitivity configuration will block malicious requests with medium confidence, providing stricter filtering. By default, the WAF sensitivity is **off** and only the standard [WAF](web-application-firewall.md) is in place. Customers are encouraged to experiment with the WAF configuration at the beginning of the project and adjust based on the WAF performance.

## Managed Challenge
38+
39+
Managed Challenge gives you the ability to present an automatic captcha to all requests for the project/hostname. The managed challenge will ensure that only human users will be able to access the content on the website. Presenting an automatic managed captcha is useful in cases when a website is under attack, aggressively scraped by bots or in extremely high demand and you'd like to ensure that all of your website's resources are delivering value to the end users.
40+

A managed challenge is a lightweight JavaScript-based page that detects users without user inputs. After successfully passing a challenge, the user will receive a cookie and won't be asked to pass another challenge for 30 minutes anywhere on the project/hostname.

43+
## Continent Managed Challenge
44+
45+
Continent-based managed challenge presents a challenge meant to only pass through the human users requesting the website from selected continents. A continent-based managed challenge is useful when a website's primary users live in a specific continent and you can safely treat any other geographical visitors with a challenge. Presenting a challenge to all automated traffic from continents that the end content isn't meant for easily blocks all malicious automated traffic.
46+
47+
All continents are supported as well as presenting a challenge to all requests from the [Tor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)) network.
