It is usually blocked after reclassification but the pattern update may take up to 12 hours. However, blocking Noteworthy Objects found on the ETA chain of the customer who triggered the alert can be real-time as it can be added to UDSO.
No because as of the moment the products associated with the service are mainly for endpoint and email only, however, the corresponding URL can be blocked by the service team or the product itself because of the behavior of the file trying to connect to it. If it is a zero-day URL, the service team could have it reclassified as Dangerous - C&C server so it will be blocked globally by WFBS alone. The IP address that you need to block on your firewall will be included in the report.
