Fastly Security Labs is a program that grants your corp (also known as an account) access to in-development [beta](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-product-lifecycle#beta) features. In addition to early access to these upcoming features, you will also have the opportunity to provide regular feedback to help shape them as they develop.

> **NOTE:** Features included in the Fastly Security Labs program may be part of a Beta release. The status of each feature will be specified in the documentation for that feature. For more information, read our [product and feature lifecycle](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-product-lifecycle#limited-availability) descriptions.

## Enrolling

To participate in Fastly Security Labs, contact [our support team](https://support.fastly.com). Fastly Security Labs is not available for the [Essential platform](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-next-gen-waf#feature-availability).

## Opting out of features

Your corp (account) will be subscribed to all features by default. You can choose to opt out of specific features by following these steps:

1.   Log in to the [Next-Gen WAF control panel](https://dashboard.signalsciences.net).

2. From the **Corp Manage** menu, select **User Authentication**.
3. In the **Fastly Security Labs** section, deselect the features to opt out of.
4. Click **Update labs**.

## Limitations

Because Fastly Security Labs features are still in development, issues related to these features may need to be escalated to our development team for troubleshooting. As a result, these features are not covered by our [support SLA](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-next-gen-waf-legacy-support-description-and-sla) because issue response and resolution times may take longer than typically expected.
