 4. In the `Recommended Policy` tab, you'll find a recommended block policy based on outbound calls aggregated from the current and past runs of the job. You can update your workflow file with this policy, or alternatively, use the [Policy Store](https://docs.stepsecurity.io/harden-runner/how-tos/block-egress-traffic#2-add-the-policy-using-the-policy-store) to apply the policy without modifying the workflow file. From now on, any outbound calls not in the allowed list will be blocked.
