It's not clear what you mean. Do you mean to stop yourself from creating such a transaction that spends your own funds? Do you mean to block other people's transactions? Or what?

so lets say my environment get compromised. I want to place a block to ensure they would not be able to create a large transaction.

Why would several small transactions not be just as damaging? And if they compromise your environment, wouldn't they just take the key material out of the environment so your equipment would never even see the transaction?
