Network logs record traffic in and out of a network.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Only inbound

Answer: (A)

Network activity across boundaries is captured by logs to provide visibility into what enters and leaves a network. These logs come from devices like firewalls, routers, proxies, IDS/IPS, and VPN gateways, and they record details such as who initiates the connection, where it goes, when it happens, and whether it’s allowed or blocked. Because the goal is to understand both sides of communication—who contacted whom and what data flowed—the logs typically include information about inbound and outbound traffic. While a particular device or configuration might emphasize one direction, network logs in general are intended to document traffic in both directions to give a complete picture of network activity.
