Which intrusion detection system component is responsible for collecting data in the form of network packets, log files, or system call traces?

APacket filters

BAnalyzers

CAdministration modules

DSensors

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Replicating privileged access to a user's own mobile device presents the greatest risk to corporate data. This is because it potentially allows unauthorized access to sensitive information if the device is lost, stolen, or compromised. Privileged access means having elevated permissions that are typically reserved for administrators. When such access is available on a personal device, it bypasses many of the security controls that a company would normally have in place.

Option A, remote wipe, is actually a security feature that can protect data if a device is lost or stolen. Option B, lack of training, can increase risk but does not directly expose data like privileged access does. Option C, devices not obtained through corporate provisioning, can be a risk, but this risk is generally less than that of replicating privileged access.

Yeah, sensors make sense. They gather all the info.

I’m pretty confident that sensors are the right answer since they gather the raw data from the network.

I’m leaning towards packet filters, but I feel like that’s more about filtering traffic rather than collecting data.

Sensors, that's the one! I remember learning about that in class. The sensors are the eyes and ears of the IDS, gathering all the raw data for the other components to process.

Okay, I think I've got this. The sensors are responsible for collecting the network traffic, log files, and system call data that the IDS analyzes. That must be the right answer.
