Announcing the public
preview of CAPTCHA for Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) with Azure
Front Door.
Modern web applications face evolving
threats, including bots, web scrapers, and brute-force attacks, many of
which can bypass traditional security controls like IP blocking and rate
limiting. CAPTCHA provides an adaptive layer of protection, ensuring
legitimate users can access applications while blocking harmful automated
traffic.
This new security feature enhances bot
mitigation strategies by introducing an interactive challenge that verifies
human users in real time, helping organizations protect their applications from
automated attacks.
For detailed information and configuration
steps, visit our Azure WAF
documentation.
Pricing will be
available for this feature starting May 1st, 2025.
