According to Dr Sharib:
"Al-Mani' is the One Who obstructs and prevents the things and causes
that would lead to the injury of the body, loss of wealth and children.
According to some scholars the name points to the One Who removes
the causes that constitute an obstruction to the safety of the people."
To emulate the name we are advised to implore and invoke help from
Allah and to learn to depend upon His mercy, grace and kindness.
Appropriate invocation can help patch up differences between a
husband and wife. Invocation can also secure safety and protection from
the machinations and mischief of the people, and another way of
invocation can also bring about success and the realisation of an
objective.

Some other references:
Al-Ghazali refers to this quality as countering the causes of destruction
or diminishing of religious and temporal affairs by creating causes
intended for protection.
Al-Ghazali distinguishes between protection and preservation
recognising that preservation is the goal of protection. Protection relates
to the specific threat of destruction.
(Al-Ghazali - The Ninety-nine Beautiful Names of God. Trans. Burrel/Daher: ITS: 1992.)
"Allah is the One Who averts harm from His creation."

This divine quality seems to refer to the ejecting or removal of specific
threats.
