# Application security dashboard

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/security/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

The application security dashboard is your starting point to better understand the security posture of your web applications, and to configure rules to protect them.

### New dashboard experience

Cloudflare is gradually making the new **Security** dashboard available by default to users. Users who do not have the new dashboard by default can still manually opt in:

1. Log in to the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com), and select your account and domain.
2. Open any page under **Security**.
3. In the top right-hand corner of the page, select **Try new dashboard**.

To opt out of the new security dashboard:

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Security **Settings** page.  
[Go to **Settings** ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/settings)
2. Turn off the setting **New application security dashboard**.

The opt-out option will be available for a limited time.
