If BlueCurve Advanced Security has blocked access or content that you know is safe, it can quickly be reversed. Access can be given to blocked content for one hour at a time, and access can be given to a blocked device for thirty days at a time.

Note: Allowing access to content or devices considered dangerous may put your network at risk, so it'll only be unblocked temporarily.
