[All CS0-003 Questions]

A SOC receives several alerts indicating user accounts are connecting to the company's identity provider through non-secure communications. User credentials for accessing sensitive, business-critical systems could be exposed. Which of the following logs should the SOC use when determining malicious intent?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) logs provide visibility into network traffic patterns and can help detect insecure or unusual connections. These logs will show if non-secure protocols are used, potentially revealing exposed credentials. According to CompTIA CySA+, IDS logs are essential for identifying malicious activity related to communications and network intrusions. Options like DNS (A) and tcpdump (B) provide network details, but IDS specifically monitors for intrusions and unusual activities relevant to security incidents.

I'm with Kris on this one. IDS logs all the way! Although, I did hear a rumor that the IT guy's cat keeps walking on the keyboard and messing with the settings. Gotta watch out for those furry hackers, you know.

Directory logs? Really? That seems like a bit of a stretch. I'd go with the IDS logs - can't go wrong with that.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Wouldn't the tcpdump logs give you a more comprehensive view of the network traffic? That seems like the logical choice to me.
