What is the primary role of the CrowdStrike Falcon Horizon module in the Falcon platform?

Question

Options

• AMonitor endpoint activity to detect malware and ransomware
• BProvide visibility and security for cloud-native applications and workloads
• CBlock phishing attempts at the email gateway
• DEncrypt data in transit to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  90% (28)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Option A: This is incorrect because detecting malware and ransomware is the primary role of Falcon Endpoint Protection, not Falcon Horizon. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) features are distinct from the cloud-native security provided by Horizon. Option B: This answer is correct because the Falcon Horizon module is specifically designed for cloud-native environments. It provides visibility into cloud configurations, detects misconfigurations, and ensures compliance with cloud security standards. It is focused on protecting modern cloud workloads, including containers and serverless architectures. Option C: This is incorrect because Falcon Horizon does not operate at the email gateway level. Blocking phishing attempts is typically a function of email security solutions, not cloud-native Option D: This is incorrect because data encryption for transit is typically handled by network security protocols like TLS, and it is not a primary feature of the Falcon Horizon module.
