+There is a small performance overhead by enabling `modsecurity`. If this is
+considered significant for your application, you can either:
+
+- Disable ModSecurity's rule engine for your deployed application by setting
+  [the deployment variable](../../topics/autodevops/index.md)
+  `AUTO_DEVOPS_MODSECURITY_SEC_RULE_ENGINE` to `Off`. This will prevent ModSecurity from
+  processing any requests for the given application or environment.
+- Toggle the feature flag to false by running the following command within your
+  instance's Rails console:
+
+  ```ruby
+  Feature.disable(:ingress_modsecurity)
+  ```
 
 Once disabled, you must [uninstall](#uninstalling-applications) and reinstall your Ingress
 application for the changes to take effect.
