Moving files to quarantine

To prevent a threat distribution, you can move a device on which the file is located to quarantine in one of the following ways:

• From the alert or incident details
• From the device details
• From a telemetry event
• From an investigation graph

You can also configure the response action to run automatically when creating or editing a playbook.

To move a device on which the file is located to quarantine, you must have one of the following XDR roles: Main administrator, Tenant administrator, Junior analyst, Tier 1 analyst, Tier 2 analyst.

It might take up to 15 minutes to launch a response action due to the synchronization interval between the managed device and Administration Server.
