Custom Rules

Create and enforce custom security policies when Vaikora's built-in presets don't fully cover your threat model. Define your own content filters, PII patterns, and detection thresholds, then apply and test them before production rollout.

Rule types

Vaikora supports content filters, PII detectors, and threat threshold rules. Each type addresses a different layer of your API security posture.

Policy structure

Policies organize rules into named sets with conditions, patterns, and actions. Structure policies to match your security workflows and deploy them programmatically across your gateway fleet.

Creating policies programmatically

Use Vaikora's API to define, update, and version policies without manual configuration. Policies integrate with your CI/CD pipeline for rapid iteration and safe rollbacks.

Testing policies

Validate rules against test payloads before production. Vaikora's testing tools simulate real threats and verify rule logic without affecting live traffic.
