Selected CCCS-203b CCCS Questions Answers

The most efficient and CrowdStrike-recommended way to stop seeing vulnerabilities for older images is to use the“Stop assessing images older than (number) of days”setting in Image Assessment configuration.

This setting prevents Falcon Cloud Security from continuing to assess images beyond a defined age threshold—90 days in this case. By stopping assessment at the source, Falcon reduces noise, conserves assessment capacity, and focuses findings on images that are actively used or likely to be deployed.

Other approaches are inefficient or risky. Fusion workflows and manual hiding add operational overhead and do not stop assessments from occurring. Deleting images from registries may disrupt workflows and is outside Falcon’s control.

CrowdStrike best practices favorassessment-scoping controlsover post-processing suppression. Therefore, the correct answer isUse the Stop assessing images older than (number) of days setting.

When configuring a new image registry connection for aprivately hosted container registryin CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, the required and most critical action is toverify the token and secretused for authentication. Private registries require explicit credentials so Falcon can securely access and assess container images for vulnerabilities, malware, and misconfigurations.

CrowdStrike supports multiple private registry types (such as private Docker registries or cloud-native registries with restricted access). In all cases, Falcon relies on valid authentication credentials—typically a token, username/password, or service account secret—to pull image metadata and layers. If these credentials are incorrect, expired, or misconfigured, image assessment will fail even if the registry connection appears configured.

Other options may be relevant in specific environments but are not universally required at creation time. Registry URLs are validated during setup, and allowlisting IP addresses may be necessary only if strict network controls are in place. Secret expiration checks are a maintenance concern, not a mandatory creation step.

Therefore, the required action when creating a private registry connection is toverify the token and secret.

When protecting a Kubernetes endpoint that hosts container workloadswith access to the Linux kernel, CrowdStrike recommends deploying theFalcon Sensor for Linux as a DaemonSet.

This deployment model installs the full Falcon Linux sensor on each Kubernetes worker node using a DaemonSet, ensuring one sensor runs per node. Because the sensor has kernel-level access, it provides deep visibility into system calls, process execution, network activity, and container behavior—delivering robust runtime protection.

TheFalcon Container Sensor for Linuxis used when kernel access is not available (for example, in managed or restricted environments). TheFalcon Operator Container Imagesimplifies lifecycle management but is not itself the sensor. Deploying the standard Falcon Sensor for Linux outside a DaemonSet would not scale correctly in Kubernetes.

Therefore, for Kubernetes environments with kernel access, the correct and CrowdStrike-recommended installation isFalcon Sensor for Linux deployed as a DaemonSet.

To notify your team when anew executable is downloaded and executed inside a running container, you must use aruntime-focused triggerin Falcon Fusion. The correct selection isContainer detection > Container runtime detection.

Container runtime detections monitor live container behavior, including process execution, file writes, network activity, and binary downloads. When an executable is introduced and run at runtime, this represents potential malicious activity or policy violation that cannot be detected during image assessment.

Image Assessmenttriggers apply only to pre-runtime image scanning and cannot detect runtime execution.Container drift detectionfocuses on changes to container state relative to the original image but does not specifically target execution-based detections.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security documentation clearly distinguishes runtime detections as the correct signal source for SOAR automation involving live container behavior. Therefore, the correct trigger configuration isContainer detection > Container runtime detection.
