An organization is planning to deploy the Falcon sensor to a small number of legacy Windows 7 workstations that are still in use for a specific manufacturing application. The workstations have 1 GB of RAM and 10 GB of free disk space. The administrator is concerned about performance. What should the administrator do?

Use a lightweight third-party antivirus instead

Install the sensor anyway and monitor performance

Disable the sensor's real-time protection to reduce resource usage

Upgrade the workstations to meet the minimum hardware requirements before installing the sensor

A junior administrator is tasked with installing the Falcon sensor on a macOS endpoint. The administrator downloads the .pkg file and attempts to install it, but the installation fails with a permission error. What is the most likely reason for the failure?

The endpoint does not have enough free disk space

The administrator is not logged in with an account that has root privileges

The macOS version is not supported by the sensor

A company is standardizing on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for its server fleet. The security team wants to deploy the Falcon sensor to these servers. During a pilot, the sensor installation fails on several machines. The administrator checks the /opt/CrowdStrike/falconctl.log and sees errors about kernel compatibility. What should the administrator verify first?

That the administrator account is a member of the sudo group

That the servers are running a supported kernel version for the sensor release

That the servers can reach sensor.us-1.crowdstrike.com on port 443

That the servers have at least 2 GB of RAM and 1 GB of free disk space
