Install the Cloudflare Enforcer

If your organization uses Cloudflare, you can use HUMAN’s Cloudflare Enforcer to protect against malicious behavior. The Cloudflare Enforcer is installed using a Cloudflare Worker, or a snippet of code, and is deployed to your content delivery network (CDN). The Enforcer dictates how traffic should be handled per your organization’s standards.

You can learn how to install the Cloudflare Enforcer with this article.

Prerequisites

• A Cloudflare account with permissions to create API tokens
• Depending on your preferred deployment method, the following tools:
  • Docker method:
    • Docker. See how to install Docker with their documentation.
  • Script method:
    • Node.js 18.x or later and npm 10.x or later. See how to install both with npm’s documentation.
    • Git CLI. You can download it directly from Git.
    • GNU Wget. See how to install with their documentation.
• Your unique HUMAN information:
  • Your Application ID. You can find this under Platform Settings > Applications > Overview in the HUMAN console. If you have multiple environments, you will also have multiple Application IDs, so be sure to choose the correct ID for the environment you want to install on.
