Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable connection teardown logging to reduce log volume.
Why it's wrong here
Connection teardown logs are critical for security audits and flow analysis; disabling them is not recommended.
- ✗
Configure all FTD devices to use UDP port 514 without severity filters.
Why it's wrong here
Unfiltered UDP syslog can lead to severe packet loss and network congestion.
- ✓
Configure severity filtering to prevent excessive, low-priority debug logs from overwhelming the SIEM ingestion capacity.
Why this is correct
Filtering unnecessary low-priority logs prevents SIEM performance bottlenecks and log storage exhaustion.
- ✗
Export raw PCAP files via syslog instead of text logs.
Why it's wrong here
Syslog does not support exporting raw PCAP files.
- ✓
Use Reliable Syslog over TCP with TLS encryption where confidentiality and guaranteed delivery are required.
Why this is correct
TCP with TLS provides secure and reliable log transport across the network.
