What sensor update policy is assigned to a host not in a host group in CrowdStrike Falcon?

In CrowdStrike Falcon, when a host is not assigned to any specific host group, it automatically inherits the default sensor update policy. This ensures that all hosts have a baseline level of protection and functionality, even if they are not explicitly managed or grouped into particular configurations. The default policy serves to streamline management and maintain secure operation for devices that may not require unique settings or that haven't yet been categorized into specific groups.

This approach helps ensure that all hosts remain operational with the necessary updates and protections in place, which is critical for maintaining a strong defense posture. By applying the default policy when no custom policy is in effect, CrowdStrike creates a consistent and effective security environment across its platform.
