What type of hosts can be contained using the containment policy?

The containment policy in CrowdStrike Falcon is designed to manage and restrict the behavior of any host that has a Falcon sensor installed. This flexibility allows organizations to implement containment across a wide range of potential devices, including physical servers, virtual machines, and endpoints with the sensor actively monitoring for threats. The ability to utilize containment on any host with a sensor means that organizations can adopt a more comprehensive approach to their security infrastructure, tailoring responses to incidents based on the specific needs of their environment.

By focusing on hosts equipped with the appropriate sensor, organizations can ensure that they can actively monitor, respond to, and contain potential threats in real-time. This capability is especially important in mixed environments where both virtual and physical systems are in use. The containment policy thus supports a robust security posture, allowing for effective incident response measures across all types of endpoints that are part of the network.
