How are active actions against suspicious objects defined in Apex Central?

In Apex Central, active actions against suspicious objects are defined primarily by their direct and immediate impact on the threats identified in the system. Specifically, block and quarantine actions are considered active because they actively prevent a potential threat from executing or spreading within the network.

When a suspicious object is detected, blocking it ensures that it cannot run or affect any part of the system, while quarantining it isolates the object, preventing it from causing harm while allowing for further analysis or remediation. These actions focus on immediate intervention, making them essential for maintaining the security posture of the system.

In contrast, log actions do not involve direct engagement with the identified threats; they merely record the event. This passive approach does not mitigate threats in real-time. Therefore, classifying all actions as passive or only relying on log actions ignores the proactive measures necessary for effective security management. Hence, the classification of block and quarantine as active is critical in understanding how Apex Central effectively manages threats.
