The correct navigation path is Actions > Connect to host. In Falcon, responders commonly initiate live response actions directly from the detection or host context using the Actions menu. This allows an authorized responder to start a Real Time Response session for hands-on investigation, artifact collection, command execution, and remediation. “Investigate > Connect to host” is not the direct path shown for this detection-driven workflow. “View Incident > Connect to host” is also incorrect because the task is to remotely connect to the affected host from the detection context, not simply open the incident view. The key requirement is permission-based RTR access; without the correct role and response policy permissions, the connection option may not be available.

Domain name-based IOCs in Falcon are used for detection-oriented visibility, not endpoint prevention in the same way as file-hash indicators. File hashes can support blocking or allowing because the sensor can evaluate executable content directly. Domains are network indicators, so the practical actions available are limited to detection or no enforcement action. “Detect only” creates visibility when matching activity is observed, while “No action” allows the indicator to be stored or staged without triggering enforcement behavior. Options that include “Block” or “Allow” are incorrect because domain-based IOCs do not work like hash allowlists or prevention hashes in Falcon IOC Management. This distinction is important for responders because choosing the wrong IOC type or expected action can lead to false assumptions about containment capability.
