I agree with Starr, the Security Management Server is more about policy management than log storage.

But the Security Management Server is responsible for managing policies, not storing logs.

Haha, the Security Management Server is like the boss of the whole operation, it doesn't have time to be storing logs on a hard drive!

Hmm, I'm going with B. The Security Management Server definitely processes and sends out alerts and notifications.

C seems like the right answer to me. The Security Management Server is responsible for compiling and verifying the Security Policies, not storing logs.

I think D is the correct answer. The Security Management Server doesn't store firewall logs, that's the job of the Security Gateway.
