The rapid protection loop engine inspects and correlates the information with other signals to arrive at a decision as to whether to block a file. All of this happens very quickly.

With rapid protection in place, an attack can be stopped on a device, other devices in the organization, and devices in other organizations, as an attack attempts to broaden its foothold. ## Configuring feedback-loop blocking -If your organization is using Microsoft Defender ATP, feedback-loop blocking is enabled by default.
