When installing the Falcon sensor in a virtual environment, which parameter should be included?

When installing the Falcon sensor in a virtual environment, including the parameter VDI=1 is essential because it informs the Falcon sensor that it is being deployed in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment. This parameter is particularly important for the sensor to optimally configure itself and function correctly within virtual machines, allowing for better integration and performance. By specifying this parameter, the Falcon sensor adapts its behavior to account for the unique characteristics and challenges of operating in a virtualized setting, ensuring that detection and protection capabilities are effective.

The importance of accurate parameter settings highlights how deeply the Falcon sensor interplays with the environment it operates in, making it critical to use the right configurations so that the sensor can effectively monitor and respond to potential threats. Therefore, including VDI=1 aligns with best practices for deploying the Falcon sensor in environments where virtual machines are prevalent.
