Suggestion - Secure Endpoint Blocked Application Warning

I would love to see a confirmation or warning box appear when parent processes are added to blocked lists. Accidentally blocking something like explorer.exe is too easy, and Cisco should be smart enough to know that wouldn't be something that would commonly be blocked. However, an overextended employee may make that mistake and bring down all computers with that policy. A sanity check would definitely be welcomed.

In the connector version 8.5.x and up we already implemented some steps that will prevent blocking critical services that are important for the operating system to run and prevent such a crashes and BSOD's. Due to the nature of this question I can't give any specific details but I know that explorer.exe was among those we discus with our development team.
