When implementing a new custom IOA, what is the first step?

When implementing a new custom Indicator of Attack (IOA), the first step is to create a rule group. A rule group serves as a container for one or more rules, allowing you to organize and manage the rules associated with your custom IOA effectively. By establishing a rule group first, you set the foundational structure required to add specific rules within that group later on.

Creating a rule group is essential because it enables you to define the context in which your custom IOA operates. This context is necessary to ensure that the rules you intend to add will be properly applied and can interact with the overall security policies managed within the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform. Once the rule group is in place, you can then proceed to add the custom IOA rules, followed by enabling the rule group and adjusting prevention policies as needed. This sequential approach helps maintain organization and clarity in implementing security measures.
