About Shield Lists

For customizing Threat Detection and Smart Access, Box Shield enables you to create Shield lists, which are lists of locations, domains, integrations, host IP addresses, or email addresses that you can later either include in or exclude from your threat detection rules. The Shield list page shows you the following information about each Shield list:

List name
When the list was last modified
The type of list
How many items are in the list
How many rules and policies use the list

You can use Shield lists as an allowlist or denylist when defining detection rules in Threat Detection or restrictions in Smart Access, as shown in the following table:

List Type	Usage
Locations	Detection rules: Suspicious location
Domains	Access policies: External collaboration restriction
Integration	Access policies: Integration restriction
IP addresses	Detection rules: Suspicious location
Email addresses	Access policies: External collaboration restriction

Item	Limit
Number of items in a single Shield List	10,000
Number of lists in an enterprise	100
Max items in all lists in an enterprise	1,000,000
