In what scenarios would you use Falcon’s “real-time response” feature?

The use of Falcon's "real-time response" feature is specifically designed for scenarios involving active threats that require immediate action. This feature allows incident responders to take swift and decisive measures to contain and remediate threats in real-time. For example, if a security analyst detects a malicious activity or a security breach in progress, utilizing real-time response enables them to quickly isolate an infected endpoint, terminate suspicious processes, or gather forensic data while the attack is still ongoing.

This capability is critical in minimizing potential damage, preventing the spread of threats, and maintaining the integrity of systems affected by cybersecurity incidents. In contrast, the other scenarios listed, such as performing regular maintenance tasks, software installation processes, or conducting performance evaluations, do not typically require immediate threat remediation. These activities can generally be planned and executed under standard operational procedures without the urgent need for real-time intervention that the response feature is built to provide.
