- [ ] Use a Layer 7 Web Application Firewall to secure ZITADEL that supports **[HTTP/2](/self-hosting/manage/http2)**
- [ ] Limit the access by IP addresses if needed
- [ ] Secure the access by rate limits for specific endpoints (e.g. API vs frontend) to secure availability on high load. See the [ZITADEL Cloud rate limits](/legal/policies/rate-limit-policy) for reference.
