A cloud security engineer is responsible for ensuring that their Kubernetes-based microservices architecture adheres to industry security standards…

Option A: Falcon Identity Protection helps detect identity-based attacks and credential misuse but does

not provide compliance checks for cloud or Kubernetes environments.

Option B: Falcon Prevent is a next-generation antivirus (NGAV) solution that protects against malware

and endpoint threats, but it does not assess cloud infrastructure or Kubernetes configurations against

compliance benchmarks.

Option C: Falcon Forensics is useful for post-incident investigations but does not provide real-time

security posture monitoring or compliance checks against industry benchmarks.

Option D: Falcon Horizon is CrowdStrike’s Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution,

designed to monitor cloud, Kubernetes, and Docker configurations for compliance with security

benchmarks such as CIS, NIST, and PCI-DSS. It provides continuous monitoring and remediation

recommendations for misconfigurations, making it the best choice for compliance verification.
