300-710 SNCF Integration Practice Question
An administrator is designing a logging architecture where Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense exports connection and intrusion events to a third-party SIEM. Which TWO design principles should be followed to ensure security and scalability? (Choose two)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Implement Reliable Syslog (TCP/TLS) to ensure encrypted transmission and prevent packet loss during network congestion.
SIEM logging design requires leveraging reliable transport (TCP/TLS) to prevent packet loss and implementing event filtering to manage log volume effectively.
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 all Access Control rule logging and enable eStreamer over unencrypted TCP port 8302.
Why it's wrong here
eStreamer always uses mutual TLS encryption; unencrypted eStreamer is not supported.
- ✗
Rely exclusively on FMC database storage without exporting events to any SIEM.
Why it's wrong here
Enterprise SIEM integration requires external log export, not relying solely on FMC storage.
- ✓
Implement Reliable Syslog (TCP/TLS) to ensure encrypted transmission and prevent packet loss during network congestion.
Why this is correct
TCP with TLS guarantees delivery and protects log data in transit.
- ✗
Configure all logs to be exported unencrypted via UDP port 514 across the internet.
Why it's wrong here
Unencrypted UDP syslog across untrusted networks is insecure and prone to packet loss.
- ✓
Configure appropriate severity filters to prevent low-priority debug events from overwhelming SIEM storage and ingestion licenses.
Why this is correct
Filtering ensures that only relevant security and connection events consume SIEM resources.
