Hi,

 

During the enforcement readiness period, the security policy provides learning suggestions when it processes requests that do not meet the security policy; but the security policy does not alert or block that traffic, even if those requests trigger violations. If you enforce policy entry it starts blocking.

After the enforcement readiness period is over and the enforcement mode is set to blocking, the security policy no longer allows requests that cause violations set to block, to reach the back-end resources. Instead, the security policy blocks the request, and sends the blocking response page to the client.
