What is a recommended use case for Sensor Visibility Exclusions?

Using Sensor Visibility Exclusions to mitigate performance issues is a sensible strategy in endpoint security management. In scenarios where high resource utilization might occur—such as on devices running resource-intensive applications or during specific operational hours—exclusions can be applied to reduce the load on the endpoint sensor. This allows the system to operate more efficiently without compromising its overall ability to detect threats.

By incorporating exclusions, organizations can ensure that the security measures in place do not interfere with critical business operations or degrade the performance of essential applications. This is particularly important in environments where performance is crucial, such as in manufacturing or real-time data processing systems.

In contrast, enhancing user detection capabilities, minimizing all detections, and maintaining constant monitoring may interfere with operational efficiency or introduce other risks. These strategies by themselves may not address performance issues that stem from the sensor's demand on system resources, highlighting why using exclusions specifically to mitigate performance is a well-founded approach.
