What characterizes Phase 1 of the Prevention Policy implementation?

Phase 1 of the Prevention Policy implementation is primarily characterized by a detection-only approach. This phase is designed to allow organizations to implement the Falcon platform quickly and efficiently while minimizing disruptions to operations. By using a detection-only policy, organizations can monitor threats and gather valuable data regarding potential security incidents without enforcing strict prevention measures right away. This helps teams understand their environment and identify threats while they familiarize themselves with the capabilities of the Falcon platform, prior to transitioning into more active prevention strategies.

The detection-only aspect allows for an assessment of false positives and various system behaviors in a real-time environment, which is crucial for effective fine-tuning of the security settings and policies that will be enforced in later phases. This method is particularly suited for rapid deployment, especially in cases where organizations need to act quickly to establish some level of protection without committing to full enforcement responsibilities immediately.
