Policy Rules in Falcon Identity Protection are designed to automate enforcement and response actions based on identity-related conditions observed in the environment. According to the CCIS curriculum, Policy Rules evaluate identity signals such as authentication behavior, risk levels, privilege status, and detection outcomes, then execute predefined actions when specific criteria are met.
These actions may include blocking authentication, enforcing MFA, generating alerts, or triggering Falcon Fusion workflows. This design supports Falcon’s Zero Trust and continuous validation model, where trust decisions are dynamically enforced rather than statically assigned. Policy Rules therefore act as the operational bridge between identity analytics and enforcement.
The incorrect options confuse Policy Rules with other platform components. Administrative permissions are governed by RBAC, sensor data collection scope is controlled through configuration settings, and behavioral learning is handled by Falcon’s analytics engine—not Policy Rules.
The CCIS documentation explicitly defines Policy Rules as logic-based enforcement mechanisms, making Option A the correct and verified answer.
