What update policy does a sensor receive when it does not have a group assignment?

A sensor with no applicable custom host group assignment receives the Default policy . Sensor update policies follow the same basic host group and precedence pattern used throughout Falcon policy management. If a host is included in a group assigned to a higher-precedence sensor update policy, that policy applies. If it does not match any assigned custom policy, Falcon falls back to the default sensor update policy. The top-precedence policy only applies when the host belongs to a host group assigned to that policy. Auto N-1 is a possible version-selection strategy within a policy, not the automatic fallback policy assignment. This is why the course emphasizes reviewing default policy settings carefully before broad deployment.
