Question

Your development team is working on a new enterprise application, but Falcon starts creating alerts during testing. The alert points to, “C:\Users\Bob\DevCode\felix.dll”. In the detection, you see that it’s triggering only on a specific Falcon IOA. What would be the best course of action for this situation?

A. Create a sensor visibility exclusion for “C:\Users\Bob\DevCode\felix.dll”
B. Create an IOA exclusion for “C:\Users\Bob\DevCode\felix.dll”
C. Create a Custom IOC and set it to “Allow” for “C:\Users\Bob\DevCode\felix.dll”
D. Manually turn off the built-in IOA through prevention policies

Answer

B. Create an IOA exclusion for “C:\Users\Bob\DevCode\felix.dll”

Explanation

This option allows the application to function without triggering alerts while still maintaining the overall protection of the IOA.
