Introduction of New Rule Based on Action Velocity

A new rule called Action Velocity Rule has been introduced in this release. This rule enables you to limit the number of transactions by a user for a specific action or a combination of actions in a specified interval of time.

For example, if you specify 5 as the value for the "Greater or Equal To" field, 60 minutes as the value of the "In Last" field, and select the action as "Login", then the rule will trigger if the count of Login transactions in an hour is 5 or more.

This rule differs from other velocity rules in the following ways:

• This rule will trigger if there are 5 transactions in the last 60 minutes with the action set to "Login"; including or excluding the current transaction.
• Other velocity rules kick in when the threshold set is exceeded (>5 in the example above). This rule kicks in when the threshold set is hit (=5 in the example above).
