Intervention Option: Block (File Events)

Available for: Data In Motion.

Not available for: Emails; Application Monitor; Data At Rest. However, Block Quietly and Block with Notification intervention options are available for emails.

Choose Block to block a file or document detected by a Data In Motion control trigger. The blocking is silent, or the user is shown a notification dialog, depending on which agent detected the file:

CFSA, CPSA, CNA

For files detected by the Client File System Agent, Client Print System Agent, or Client Network Agent, CA DataMinder displays the Blocking dialog. For example, the Blocking dialog is shown if a user tries to print an unauthorized file or copy it to a USB device. You can use the dialog's notification message to explain to the user why this action was taken.

For files detected by the Network Boundary Agent, such as uploads to a web site, CA DataMinder displays the Blocking dialog if possible. However, for some web sites, it is not possible to display a Blocking dialog and the blocking is silent.
