CertNexus Certified Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) — Question 23

Various logs are collected for a data leakage case to make a forensic analysis. Which of the following are MOST important for log integrity? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Hash value
• B. Time stamp
• C. Log type
• D. Modified date/time
• E. Log path

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The hash value (A) is essential for verifying the integrity of the logs by ensuring that they have not been altered. The time stamp (B) is also critical as it provides a timeline for the events and helps to establish a sequence, which is vital for forensic analysis. The other options, while relevant, do not directly contribute to log integrity in the same way.
