Controlled folder access protects your data by checking against a list of known, trusted apps. If an app isn't on the trusted list, Controlled folder access will block the app from making changes to files inside protected folders.
Controlled folder access is especially useful in helping to protect your documents and information from [ransomware](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/threats/ransomware) that can attempt to encrypt your files and hold them hostage.
Apps are added to the trusted list based upon their prevalence and reputation. Apps that are highly prevalent throughout your organization, and that have never displayed any malicious behavior, are deemed trustworthy and automatically added to the list.
Apps can also be manually added via System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Intune. Additional actions, such as [adding a file indicator](../microsoft-defender-atp/respond-file-alerts.md#add-indicator-to-block-or-allow-a-file), can be performed from the Security Center Console.
Controlled folder access is especially useful in helping to protect your documents and information from [ransomware](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/threats/ransomware) that can attempt to encrypt your files and hold them hostage.
With Controlled folder access in place, a notification will appear on the computer where the app attempted to make changes to a protected folder. You can [customize the notification](customize-attack-surface-reduction.md#customize-the-notification) with your company details and contact information. You can also enable the rules individually to customize what techniques the feature monitors.
The protected folders include common system folders, and you can [add additional folders](customize-controlled-folders-exploit-guard.md#protect-additional-folders). You can also [allow or whitelist apps](customize-controlled-folders-exploit-guard.md#allow-specific-apps-to-make-changes-to-controlled-folders) to give them access to the protected folders.
