You are evaluating the asset inventory in a hybrid cloud environment monitored by CrowdStrike Falcon. An unregistered virtual machine (VM) in the…

Option A: Deploying the Falcon sensor ensures the VM is brought under management and monitoring.

Restricting network access limits exposure while updating the software addresses known vulnerabilities.

This approach effectively mitigates risk without unnecessarily disrupting operations.

Option B: While assigning the VM to a restricted group might help limit its access, it does not address

the root cause of its vulnerabilities or the associated risks. Further actions, such as deploying the Falcon

sensor and updating the software, are required.

Option C: Ignoring the VM leaves it vulnerable to exploitation, increasing the risk of a breach. Proactive

steps are necessary to mitigate potential threats before they escalate.

Option D: Immediate termination could disrupt legitimate operations if the VM serves a business

purpose. A more measured approach involves securing and updating the asset.
