How does Falcon respond to threats automatically?

The Falcon platform is designed to proactively respond to threats in real-time, which is critical for maintaining security across networks and endpoints. The correct response to threats involves blocking harmful processes and isolating affected endpoints.

When a potential threat is detected, Falcon can automatically take action to mitigate the risk by terminating malicious processes to stop the threat from spreading or executing further. Endpoint isolation is similarly crucial; if an endpoint is compromised or under suspicion, isolating it from the network prevents the attacker from accessing other devices and data, thereby containing the threat. This automated response significantly enhances the overall security posture of an organization by reducing response time and minimizing potential damage.

In contrast, updating the user interface, printing alert notifications, and encrypting all network traffic are not direct threats responses. They do not actively mitigate risks or protect the network from ongoing attacks in the same way that blocking processes and isolating endpoints does. These actions might improve user experience or overall security posture but do not constitute an automatic threat response mechanism.
