Cybersecurity and Hadoop Quiz

Why can the volume of data in cybersecurity be overwhelming?

• Due to limited storage capacity

• Because of the sheer volume generated by networks, systems, and security devices

• Because data is often encrypted

• Due to slow processing speeds

What types of systems generate large volumes of logs?

• Firewalls, IDS/IPS, and antivirus software

• Word processors and spreadsheets

• Video games and streaming services

• Social media platforms and blogs

What is the primary purpose of logs generated by security systems?
