Security profile is the main component in Smart Web Security. The profile consists of rules, each including conditions for applying certain actions to HTTP requests received via the virtual host of the Yandex Application Load Balancer L7 load balancer by the resource being protected.
You can create a profile:
- _From a preset template_. A preset profile includes:
- Basic default rule enabled for all traffic.
- Smart Protection rule enabled for all traffic with the Full protection action type.
- _From scratch_. This profile includes only the basic default rule enabled for all traffic.
To activate Smart Web Security, connect the security profile to the virtual host of the L7 load balancer from which the traffic is distributed to the resources being protected. When an Application Load Balancer Ingress controller manages the load balancer, connect the security profile using an Ingress resource annotation.
