CertNexus Certified Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) — Question 26

When attempting to determine which system or user is generating excessive web traffic, analysis of which of the following would provide the BEST results?

Answer options

• A. Browser logs
• B. HTTP logs
• C. System logs
• D. Proxy logs

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Proxy logs provide the most comprehensive view of web traffic, as they record all requests passing through the proxy server, including user identities and the resources accessed. In contrast, browser logs only reflect the activity on individual machines, HTTP logs may not capture user-specific information, and system logs generally do not focus on web traffic analysis.
