CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 166

An organization wants better network visibility. The organization's requirements include:

• Multivendor/OS-monitoring capabilities
• Real-time collection
• Data correlation

Which of the following meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. SNMP
• B. SIEM
• C. Nmap
• D. Syslog

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution is designed to aggregate and analyze data from various sources in real-time, providing the necessary visibility and correlation capabilities. SNMP (A) is primarily used for network management, while Nmap (C) focuses on network scanning and Syslog (D) is used for logging but does not offer comprehensive correlation features.
