The security monitoring data type that requires the largest storage space is D. Full Packet Capture.
Full Packet Capture is a form of network traffic capture in which every packet that is sent and received on a network is captured and stored. This type of capture allows for in-depth analysis of network traffic, as it includes all layers of the network stack, from physical to application.
Full Packet Capture is the most detailed form of network traffic capture, as it provides the complete content of each packet, including headers, payloads, and any other data contained within the packet. However, due to its level of detail, it also requires the most storage space.
Transaction data, on the other hand, only captures specific events or actions that occur on a network, such as login attempts or file transfers. This data is less detailed than full packet capture and therefore requires less storage space.
Statistical data refers to data that has been aggregated and analyzed to provide an overview of network activity over a period of time. This type of data typically does not require as much storage space as full packet capture, as it has already been processed and analyzed.
Session data captures the interactions between two devices on a network over a period of time. While this data can be more detailed than transaction data, it typically does not require as much storage space as full packet capture, as it does not capture every single packet exchanged between the devices.
In summary, full packet capture requires the largest storage space due to its level of detail, capturing every packet on a network, including headers, payloads, and other data contained within the packet.
