Hold up, are we sure none of the other options involve file integrity monitoring? I mean, why reinvent the wheel when you can just use the built-in tools, am I right? *wink wink*

Syslog is great for general system logging, but it doesn't have the specificity needed to properly monitor and report on changes to critical data. File integrity monitoring is the way to go here.

SNMP traps could work, but they're really more for monitoring network devices. For something as crucial as data integrity, I'd want a more dedicated solution like file integrity monitoring.

I'm gonna have to go with option B. Monitoring file integrity is the only way to be sure you're not missing any unauthorized changes to your data.
