    Hello, 

    WAF Policy is just for Web applications not SIP, FTP, SMTP ...etc. 

    All you can do for SIP:
    - you can use SIP DOS Vectors if you have AFM or DHD "DDoS Hybrid Defender" modules.

    - SIP Inspection profile and you need to have an active subscription to configure and use inspection profiles, look at the following snapshot to know more about inspection:

    that's all for SIP. 

     

    Good luck :)
