Which mode is recommended in CrowdStrike Falcon for troubleshooting a newly added firewall rule?

Monitor Mode is the recommended setting for troubleshooting newly added firewall rules within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. This mode enables the system to observe and log activities related to the firewall rules without actively enforcing them. As a result, it allows administrators to assess the effects of the new rules on network traffic and application behavior without risking disruptions to critical services or legitimate user activities.

By using Monitor Mode, security professionals can gather valuable insights into potential issues or misconfigurations, helping to ensure that the firewall rules will function as intended once they are switched to a more restrictive mode. This approach supports a methodical and cautious strategy, allowing for adjustments based on real-time data and reducing the likelihood of unintended consequences when the rules go live.
