Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system collects, correlates, and analyzes logs from multiple sources in real-time, providing enhanced visibility across multivendor environments.
Breakdown of Options:
A: SNMP - SNMP is used for network device monitoring, but it lacks real-time correlation across multiple vendors.
B: SIEM - Correct answer. SIEM aggregates, analyzes, and correlates logs from multiple sources, providing real-time visibility.
C: Nmap - Nmap is a network scanning tool used for mapping hosts and detecting open ports but does not provide log correlation.
D: Syslog - Syslog collects logs but does not correlate or analyze them in real-time.
