We are pleased to announce the introduction of several new rules conditions that will help give you better visibility into abusive or anomalous behavior on your applications.

- **Response Conditions**
  Use `Response code` or `Response header` as conditions in request rules or signal exclusion rules for finer detail when adding or removing a signal. Combine response conditions with request conditions to gain greater insight into the results of client requests.

- **Custom Signals**
  Use custom signals as conditions in request rules to improve workflows or create more complex rule logic.
