An administrator wishes to configure third-party SIEM integration with Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense by forwarding security events in a standard format.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure syslog output format to include unified syslog or standard text formats compatible with SIEM parsers in Platform Settings.

Let's look at standard FMC syslog capabilities: FMC allows configuring syslog alert formats under Platform Settings.
