CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 303

A network engineer wants to implement a secure solution that provides authentication and encryption to gather and monitor logs within the company network. Which of the following tools will accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Syslog
• B. RADIUS
• C. SNMPv3
• D. API

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, SNMPv3, as it includes security features such as authentication and encryption, making it suitable for secure log monitoring. A, Syslog, does not provide encryption or authentication. B, RADIUS, is primarily used for network access control rather than log monitoring. D, API, does not inherently provide authentication and encryption for log gathering.
