Lookup tables and watchlists serve different purposes in Fortinet's Advanced Analytics:
Lookup tables allow for structured data storage with multiple columns, making them useful for correlating different attributes or key-value pairs.
Watchlists are simpler and contain only a single column, often used for quick reference to flagged values, such as IP addresses or user accounts.

Wait, so do lookup tables actually age out over time? I thought they were supposed to be more permanent. This is getting confusing!

Honestly, I'm just going to go with option D. It seems to capture the main differences between the two pretty well.

Haha, option C is just silly. Of course lookup tables can have multiple columns, that's kind of their whole purpose!

I agree with Tomas, A) makes sense because lookup tables are more dynamic compared to watchlists.

Option B is the way to go. You can't populate watchlists through incidents, that's a key difference from lookup tables.

I think option D is the most accurate. Lookup tables are more flexible and can be used immediately, while watchlists have a delay before they're usable.
