When you configure and apply an IOA exclusion, what impact does it have on the host and what you see in the console?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
Explanation
According to the CrowdStrike Falcon Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide, IOA exclusions allow you to exclude files or directories from being detected or blocked by CrowdStrike's indicators of attack (IOAs), which are behavioral rules that identify malicious activities1. This can reduce false positives and improve performance1. When you configure and apply an IOA exclusion, the impact is that the associated detection will be suppressed and theassociated process would have been allowed to run1. This means that you will not see any alerts or events related to that IOA in the console1.
