You suspect that an API key you recently generated has been compromised.
What should you do?
What should you do?
Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
The correct answer is A. Regenerate a new API key directly from the platform .
CrowdStrike guidance around connector onboarding shows that after a connector is created, you generate an API key in the platform and use that key for the integration. Related integration guidance also shows a Regenerate API key action in the platform flow, which is the correct response when a key may be exposed or compromised.
Why the other options are incorrect:
* B does not address credential compromise; recreating the connector event does not invalidate the exposed key.
* C is incorrect because the issue is not viewing or cloning details; the security action is to rotate
/regenerate the credential.
* D is incorrect because CrowdStrike documentation consistently indicates secrets/keys are generated in- platform and may only be shown once, meaning Support is not the normal mechanism to retrieve and resend an existing secret.
