Incident Details: REST Action Warning 

Incident History shows: Breaking Content Links Action Skipped

Environment

DLP Cloud Detection Service for REST  15.X. & 16.X
CASB SAAS: Securlet Microsoft Office 365\OneDrive

Cause

The correct response rules required to remove access or break links may be missing from the policy.

Resolution

The Data-At-Rest Response rule, "Remove Shared Links in Data-at-Rest" is used when a document is exposed publically, or externally, and the link needs to be removed.
The Data-At-Rest Response rule, "Remove Collaborator Access" can be used to remove collaborator links on files shared with persons identified as external, even when the file itself IS NOT exposed externally.

To be able to remove links for both use cases, an Automated Response Rule for each action should be added to the policy. Alternatively, an Automated Response Rule containing both response rules can be used.
