CB Protection: How are executions affected when prompt notifiers are idle?

CB Protection: How are executions affected when prompt notifiers are idle?

Environment

  • CB Protection Agent: All Supported Versions
  • Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions

Question

When a prompt notifier is displayed (in Medium Enforcement) on an endpoint but not acted upon, how can the agent be expected to act?

Answer

  • While the prompt notifier is up, but not acted upon, the agent will:
    • Block banned files
    • Discover new unapproved files and report back to the CBP Server
    • Prompt for unapproved file executions
  • The agent will not:
    • Receive and act upon global or local approvals sent from the CBP Server
  • Essentially, the prompt notifier must be acted upon (allow or block) in order for the agent to be able to proceed with allowing or blocking the file execution.
