    Create an Agent Action Control Policy for Real-time Protection

    To regulate and control the actions performed by agents across your organization, you need a Real-time Protection policy so you can apply the policy to the agents across your organization.

    To create an Agent Action Control policy for Real-time Protection:

    1. Go to Policies > Real-time Protection.

    2. Click New Policy and then select Agent Action Control.

    3. Enter the policy information:

      • Source: Search for and select the Agents to use. Click Add Criteria to add other sources, like users, user groups, organizational units, source IP, and Source IP (egress) that you want to group with the agents to restrict the scope.

      • Destination: Select the traffic destination you want to apply the Agent Action Control policy to. Select Applications from the dropdown, and then add the Cloud Apps to manage with this policy.

      • Profile & Action: Configure the following.

        • Agent Action Control: Select the Agent Action Control profiles you want to add to the Real-time Protection policy. You can add multiple profiles to a Real-time Protection policy.

        • Profile Action: Select the action you want Netskope to take when users trigger the policy.

          • Alert

          • Allow

          • Block

          If you select Block, you can also choose a default or custom notification template to send to the end-user for user coaching if Netskope detects a policy violation.

      • Policy Name: Enter a policy name. You can only use alphanumeric characters and symbols such as underscore (_), dash (-), and square brackets ([ ]). You cannot use the greater-than (>) or less-than (<) symbols in policy names.

        • + Policy Description: Click to add notes or information.

        • + Email Notification: Netskope doesn’t send email-based notifications for Agent Action Control alerts.

      • Status: Ensure it’s Enabled so the policy is active.

    4. Click Save. The new policy appears on the Real-time Protection Policy page.

    5. In the Move Policy window, move the Agent Action Control policy based on your interpretation of the severity of the content moderation.
