Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND, legacy) — Question 68

Which security monitoring data type requires the most storage space?

Answer options

• A. full packet capture
• B. transaction data
• C. statistical data
• D. session data

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Full packet capture is the most storage-intensive because it records every packet of data transmitted over the network, which can accumulate to a significant volume. In contrast, transaction data, statistical data, and session data summarize or aggregate information, requiring considerably less storage space.
