Exercise - Block agents with security risks

Completed

You can block agents across your organization. Blocking an agent turns off all instances created under that agent. These instances remain inactive until you unblock the agent.

In this exercise, you learn how to block an agent with risky behavior from the agents Overview page and from the agent Map. When you block an agent, all instances created under it are turned off. You can unblock the agent later to turn on the instances again.
