About the Role:

CrowdStrike Falcon Forensics tool provides comprehensive data collection while performing triage analysis during threat hunting missions. It has two main components - Collector and Cloud. Collector is an executable that runs on client machines to collect system metadata such as events, logs, network states and filesystem information. Collector delivers data to the Cloud component which aggregates the data for each customer's endpoints and allows for effective triage to quickly determine the machines where threat actor activity has started, escalated or targeted. This enables the incident responders to concentrate their efforts on impacted machines.
