What does the 'Block' policy do in CrowdStrike?

The 'Block' policy in CrowdStrike is designed to enhance security by preventing specified actions related to potentially malicious indicators. When the policy is applied, it effectively adds the indicator to a blocklist. This action ensures that any processes or behaviors associated with that indicator are halted and prevented from executing on the system. Additionally, the policy generates an alert that shows detection of the blocked activity, which helps security teams monitor and respond to threats in real time.

By blocking malicious indicators, organizations can protect their endpoints from known threats and minimize the risk of a security breach. This proactive approach allows for timely remediation and aids in maintaining a secure environment.
