Policy Guide › Intervention Setting › Intervention Setting: Block with Notification

Intervention Setting: Block with Notification

Available for: Incoming emails; outgoing emails; Application Monitor

Not available for: Data At Rest; Data In Motion. However, a Block (File Events) intervention option is available for files detected by Data In Motion triggers.

Choose Block with Notification to display the Blocking dialog whenever an email, Web page, or data submission to a Web site is blocked. You can specify customized notification messages for each control trigger.

Emails

For intended recipients, you could combine this option with a Forward Incoming Email setting to effectively redirect the email. You can use the notification message in the blocking dialog to explain what action has been taken.

For incoming emails, you can send an automatic reply to the sender and delete the email from the user’s Inbox or leave it in the Inbox but with its body text replaced by a standard notification message.

Applications

For blocked applications, the application fails to start up. The mouse pointer temporarily changes to 'busy' then reverts to 'normal'.
