## Goal{% #goal %}

Detects multiple soft block events from a user, which may indicate attempts to access restricted or risky content that violates security policies.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

Monitor soft-blocked web requests to identify patterns of repeated access attempts to disallowed or potentially harmful content.

## Triage and Response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. Identify the user `{{@usr.name}}` and the device `{{@computerName}}` generating the soft-blocked requests.
1. Review the client IP address `{{@network.client.ip}}` to validate network origin and assess for unusual activity.
1. Determine whether the accessed content is harmful, miscategorized, or being intentionally bypassed.
