# Profiles

Profile: A re-usable collection of security policies

![](https://2672114182-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIRmpkGX8y0mvi8hAYhjD%2Fuploads%2FJXXNrPhLxS1pK5pRLAUF%2FSecurity%20Profiles%20-%20Profiles.png?alt=media\&token=b07464e3-9e04-4523-a877-803b3157f79d)

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

1. [Profiles](/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/profiles/security-profile-setup.md)
2. [ACL Policies](/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/profiles/acl-policies.md)
3. [WAF/IPS Policies](/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/profiles/waf-ips-policies.md)
4. [Custom Signature](/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/profiles/custom-signature.md)

{% 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](/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/session-profiling.md) instead.
{% endhint %}

Before discussing each tab, it will be useful to discuss [Profile Concepts](/v2.20/product-walkthrough/security/profiles/profile-concepts.md).
