What is one of the default configurations of the Default Policy?

The Default Policy in CrowdStrike Falcon is designed with security principles in mind, ensuring that organizations can manage their endpoint security without overwhelming users with excessive permissions or settings that might hinder operations. By having all settings disabled initially, the Default Policy allows organizations to tailor their security configurations to fit their specific needs and risk profile. This approach encourages system administrators to enable only the features and capabilities that are deemed necessary based on their environment, instead of applying a broad, potentially disruptive set of configurations from the outset.

This default stance of starting with all settings disabled promotes a more cautious and methodical approach to security. It helps prevent unexpected issues that could arise from activating all security features at once, especially in diverse environments where specific controls may or may not be appropriate. Organizations have the flexibility to enable protections incrementally, ensuring that they can fully understand the implications of each setting. This kind of strategy helps maintain operational efficiency while layering security measures as risks are assessed and prioritized.
