  • 1.  Endpoint Prevent - How to throttle pop ups

    Posted May 02, 2012 01:38 PM

    I have all the standard detections in place (PCI, HIPAA, SNN, etc). I have a Endpoint Prevent response rule that pops up a dialog box asking for confirmation when it sees data being copied/burned, etc. I have a few users that need to copy and paste between apps quite a bit and they get lots of pop ups. Is there a way to only show a pop up every so often but still generate all the events? Basically I just want to reduce the number of pop ups allowed in a time period.

     

    Thanks!

    There's an option you can turn on in the configuration that will enable DLP to remember the user answer for that particular policy violation and stop the popup (I'm checking this now so I'll edit this post once I find the exact setting).

    Another otion is to create an exception for them in the current policy, then create a second policy for them in particular with no response rule.

    A third option is to create a condition in the endpoint notify/user cancel/block response rule that doesn't include those users.


    Edit

    Apparently, the setting is on by default as I can't find the setting at all (almost sure I saw it some time ago though).

    You can tweak the settings in the advanced agent configuration see the excerpt from the help file below. You get to advanced agent config from System -> Agent -> Agent Configuration -> Advanced Agent Settings (tab) -> Edit default configuration
