An administrator is reviewing the default policies applied to a new Falcon sensor. They notice the 'Prevention Policy' is set to 'Detect Only'. What is the primary purpose of this default setting?

To ensure the sensor does not consume system resources.

To prevent the sensor from sending any data to the cloud.

To allow the sensor to learn the environment before enforcing blocks.

To block all malicious activity immediately upon installation.

An administrator is deploying Falcon sensors to a large number of servers. To minimize the impact on the servers' performance, which best practice should be followed?

Use the 'Sensor Update' policy to stagger the sensor installations.

Install the sensor on all servers at the same time to ensure consistency.

Disable the 'Prevention Policy' on all servers until the deployment is complete.

Deploy the sensor in phases, starting with a small pilot group.

A company has a mix of critical production servers and non-critical development servers. They want to ensure that a new, aggressive prevention policy is tested before it is applied to production. What is the best approach?

Apply the new policy to all servers at once to ensure consistency.

Use the 'Response Policy' to test the new settings.

Apply the new policy to the production servers first to see the impact.

Create a host group for the development servers and assign the new policy to that group.

A company is deploying Falcon sensors to a fleet of Windows servers that are domain-joined. The security team wants to ensure that the sensor can be installed and managed without requiring local administrator credentials on each server. What is the best practice to achieve this?

Disable UAC on all servers to simplify the installation.

Use the 'Sensor Update' policy to push the sensor to the servers.

Manually install the sensor on each server using the local administrator account.

Use a GPO to deploy the sensor with a domain service account that has local admin rights.

An administrator is troubleshooting a Falcon sensor that is not applying the latest prevention rules. The sensor is online and reporting, but the 'Prevention Policy' in the console shows 'Not Assigned'. What is the most likely cause?

The 'Sensor Update' policy is set to 'Manual', preventing the new rules from downloading.

The sensor is running an outdated version that does not support the new rules.

The sensor's local firewall is blocking the policy update from the cloud.

The sensor's host group does not have a prevention policy assigned to it.
