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.
