# Security

Cloudflare for SaaS provides increased security per custom hostname through:

* [Certificate management](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/security/certificate-management/)  
   * [Issue certificates through Cloudflare](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/security/certificate-management/issue-and-validate/)  
   * [Upload your own certificates](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/security/certificate-management/custom-certificates/)
* Control your traffic's level of encryption with [TLS settings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/security/certificate-management/enforce-mtls/)
* Create and deploy WAF custom rules, rate limiting rules, and managed rulesets using [WAF for SaaS](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/security/waf-for-saas/)
