Question

• D

Explanation

Option A: This answer is correct because registering a cloud account in CrowdStrike Falcon requires establishing a secure connection via IAM roles with read-only access. This allows Falcon to monitor and analyze configurations, services, and activity logs within the cloud account without making changes to the cloud environment. Option B: This is incorrect because CrowdStrike Falcon integrates directly with cloud platforms to retrieve activity logs automatically. Manual log uploads are not required. Option C: This is incorrect because installing agents on virtual machines is part of endpoint protection, not cloud account registration. Cloud accounts are registered at the platform level (AWS, Azure, GCP) rather than individual machines. Option D: This is incorrect because network security group configurations are unrelated to the cloud account registration process. CrowdStrike communicates via APIs and does not require inbound network traffic to cloud accounts for registration.
