What best describes what happens to detections in the console after clicking "Enable Detections" for a host which previously had its detections…

Disabling detections on a host instructs the Falcon sensor to stop sending detection events to the CrowdStrike cloud. When an administrator clicks "Enable Detections," this instruction is reversed, and the sensor immediately resumes sending new detection events as they occur. The period during which detections were disabled represents a gap in visibility. The Falcon platform does not queue or store detections locally on the host during this time for later upload. Therefore, any malicious activity that occurred while detections were disabled would not have been reported and will not be retroactively populated in the console.

A. "Enable Detections" is a comprehensive action for all detection types on the host, not exclusively for custom detections.

B. The Falcon platform does not store and retroactively restore detections that occurred while the feature was disabled for a host.

D. Detections and preventions are separate functions controlled by different policies; enabling detections does not automatically enable preventions.

1. CrowdStrike Falcon® Platform Documentation, Host and Host Group Management Guide. The section on "Host Actions" describes the function to "Enable/Disable Detections." The documentation clarifies that this action controls the real-time reporting of detection events from the sensor to the cloud. It specifies that disabling this feature stops the flow of these events, and enabling it resumes the flow for new events, with no mention of a retroactive restoration mechanism. (Note: Specific page numbers vary by document version, but this is found in the core section on managing individual host settings).

2. CrowdStrike, Inc., Falcon Sensor for Windows Deployment Guide. This guide explains the sensor's operational states and communication with the cloud. It details that sensor operations, including detection reporting, are controlled by policies and actions from the cloud console. Disabling detections effectively places the sensor in a state where it no longer sends that specific data stream, confirming that events during that period are not sent.
