What is the primary function of Malware Protection in CrowdStrike's policy settings?

The primary function of Malware Protection in CrowdStrike's policy settings is to block suspicious actions, including processes and commands. This capability is essential for detecting and mitigating threats in real time. By identifying behaviors that are characteristic of malware or other malicious activities, the system can proactively prevent potential breaches or damage caused by malware. This includes a wide range of suspicious actions that could indicate an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or infect endpoints with harmful software.

Malware Protection is designed to analyze the behavior of applications and files, allowing the system to respond to threats based on their actions rather than solely relying on traditional signature-based detection methods. This proactive approach helps maintain the integrity and security of the environment by stopping malware before it can compromise data or systems.

The other options do not align with the core capabilities of Malware Protection. For instance, blocking all network connections is too broad and would severely disrupt legitimate operations, filtering web traffic relates more to internet security rather than directly addressing malware, and managing user permissions is a different aspect of security focused on access control rather than malware detection and prevention.
