What happens to a quarantined file after 30 days?

When a file is quarantined within the CrowdStrike Falcon environment, it is isolated to prevent any potential harm to the system from a suspected threat. After a period of 30 days, if the file remains in quarantine without any further action taken, it is permanently deleted from the system. This automatic deletion helps maintain a clean environment and ensures that outdated or potentially harmful files do not linger and occupy space or pose risks to system integrity.

The choice indicating it is restored to its original location does not align with standard quarantine practices, as restoring a file could reintroduce a threat. Transferring to cloud storage is not a typical procedure for quarantined files, as these files should remain isolated. The idea of extending the quarantine status contradicts automated response protocols, which focus on permanent action to manage resources efficiently and securely. Thus, the established process leads to the deletion of files that have not been analyzed and released or permanently retained after the defined quarantine period.
