What is the main responsibility of a Falcon Analyst in Prevent Roles?

The primary responsibility of a Falcon Analyst in Prevent Roles is to view detections, exclusions, and search events. This involves monitoring the alerts and events generated by the Falcon platform, which enables the analyst to assess potential threats and determine necessary responses. The ability to review detection data is crucial for understanding security incidents, as it provides insights into the nature of threats and helps in the ongoing prevention of incidents.

By viewing detections, the analyst can see how the Falcon platform has identified potential threats, allowing for informed decision-making. Additionally, analyzing exclusions helps manage what is being disregarded in threat detection, ensuring that the focus remains on significant and actionable alerts. The capability to search through events assists in gathering context around specific incidents or trends, which is vital for developing strategies to improve organizational security posture. This role directly supports proactive threat prevention and incident response through diligent monitoring and analysis.
