What can users create in CrowdStrike Falcon to get alerts based on specific criteria?

In CrowdStrike Falcon, users can create Custom Alerts to receive notifications based on specific criteria tailored to their needs. This feature allows organizations to monitor particular events or behaviors that are critical to their security posture, enhancing their incident response capabilities. By configuring these alerts, users can set parameters that are meaningful in the context of their environment, such as specific types of threats, activity from certain endpoints, or unusual behaviors that warrant immediate attention.

This level of customization enables teams to prioritize, respond proactively, and ensure that they are alerted to incidents that are most relevant to their security policies and operational requirements. The ability to set these specific triggers ensures that alerts are not just noise, but actionable insights that can enhance situational awareness and efficiency in threat detection and response.

Other options like predefined or standard alerts may provide general alerting capabilities, but they lack the fine-tuned specificity that custom alerts offer. Monthly reports, while useful for summarizing activity and trends, do not provide real-time alerts based on immediate criteria, making custom alerts the most effective tool for maintaining proactive security measures.
