# Protection workspace

> Monitor live assessments, configure proactive rules, and manage blocklists from Protección.

**Protección** is the control room for pre-payment fraud. It complements the **Panel** home view with a live feed, rule management, and links to blocklists.

Open **Protección** from the sidebar (`/dashboard/protection`).

## Main metrics

The top cards mirror the panel logic:

* Evaluations today (timezone-aware)
* Blocked count and trend vs yesterday
* Money protected (month-to-date)
* Approval rate

Metrics refresh automatically every 30 seconds while the page is open.

## Recent activity feed

Each row shows amount, decision badge, risk score, and timestamp. Use it to investigate spikes after rule changes or simulation runs.

## Proactive rules

Navigate to **Protección → Reglas** (`/dashboard/protection/rules`) to define conditions evaluated **before** capture:

* Amount thresholds
* Country or segment conditions
* Actions: challenge, review, or block

<Tip>
  After editing rules, run a **Simulación** scenario to confirm the expected decision before enabling in production traffic.
</Tip>

## Blocklists

**Protección → Blocklists** manages emails, IPs, card BINs, devices, and more. Entries can be created manually or populated automatically when you **report fraud** via the API.

Programmatic blocklist CRUD is also available with a dashboard session — see [Blocklists](/concepts/blocklists).

## Relationship to the API
