Products

• Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)

Issue/Introduction

Why does an application that has been banned show up on the alert page but does not show as blocked?

Environment

• Endpoint Standard Sensor: All versions
• Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: All supported versions

Resolution

The alert will show up if malware is detected by sensor background scanning, however, since the application is banned and hasn't performed any task, no action is taken by sensor.
