Lock and unlock

Requirements: Windows or macOS.

When you execute the lock action, you block the managed node's keyboard and mouse input. If you later want to reverse this action, you can unlock the node.

The lock action can be executed manually using the FortiDLP Console, as described below. It can also be executed automatically using policies.

For legacy actions, FortiDLP will not prevent you from undoing the action of another operator. When following the steps to unlock a node, ensure you undo the appropriate action.
