Public Preview: JavaScript (JS) Challenge on Azure WAF integrated with Azure Front Door

Published date: Aug 22, 2024

Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) integrated with Azure Front Door now supports JavaScript (JS) challenge. Azure WAF JS challenge is available as a new mitigation action as part of the Bot Manager rule set and custom rules. The JavaScript challenge is an invisible web challenge used to distinguish between legitimate users and bots. Malicious bots fail the challenge, which protects web applications. In addition, the JavaScript challenge is beneficial as it reduces friction for legitimate users. This is because it doesn't require any human intervention.

For more information on what's included in this release, please see Azure WAF JS Challenge.
