CrowdStrike Certified Falcon Administrator (CCFA) — Question 128

After agent installation, an agent opens a permanent ____ connection over port 443 and keeps that connection open until the endpoint is turned off or the network connection is terminated.

Answer options

• A. HTTP
• B. SSH
• C. TLS
• D. TCP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, TLS, as it is a protocol designed for secure communication over a computer network, and it typically operates over port 443. Options A (HTTP) and B (SSH) do not maintain a permanent secure connection like TLS does, and D (TCP) refers to the transport layer protocol, which does not specify the security aspect.
