In a typical deployment, Reblaze performs much of its traffic evaluation according to security Profiles. There are four tabs within the interface:

1. [Profiles](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20.4/console-ui-walkthrough/security/profiles/security-profile-setup)
2. [ACL Policies](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20.4/console-ui-walkthrough/security/profiles/acl-policies)
3. [WAF/IPS Policies](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20.4/console-ui-walkthrough/security/profiles/waf-ips-policies)
4. [Custom Signature](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20.4/console-ui-walkthrough/security/profiles/custom-signature)

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Custom Signature feature is being deprecated, and will be phased out in a future release of Reblaze. It is recommended that instead of constructing new Custom Signatures, use [Tag Rules](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20.4/console-ui-walkthrough/security/session-profiling) instead.
{% endhint %}

Before discussing each tab, it will be useful to discuss [Profile Concepts](https://waap.docs.link11.com/v2.20.4/console-ui-walkthrough/security/profiles/profile-concepts).
