A security architect is reviewing the scan exclusion policy for a large enterprise. The policy currently allows any team to create exclusions, but there have been instances where exclusions were created without proper justification, leading to gaps in security coverage.

Require all exclusions to be approved by the security team before they take effect.

Limit the ability to create exclusions to a small group of security administrators.

Implement a process where exclusions are automatically reviewed and approved based on predefined criteria.

Require exclusions to have a documented business justification and be reviewed on a regular basis.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for managing scan exclusions over time?

Use the same exclusion for all cloud accounts

Set exclusions and never change them

Document the reason for each exclusion

Remove all exclusions at the end of each month

Why would a security team configure scan exclusions for a cloud account in CrowdStrike?

To permanently disable all security monitoring for the account

To reduce noise and focus scans on resources that matter most

To ensure compliance with data residency requirements

To increase the frequency of scans on excluded resources
