Orchestration Actions

- Isolate a machine from the network with the self-quarantine feature
- Quarantine/block a file - stop the endpoint from being able to access or execute a local file
- Collect investigation package for an in-depth evaluation of an endpoint
- Set IOCs - files, hosts, domains that should be blocked
