What is the PRIMARY purpose of collecting database logs during threat intelligence data collection?

To monitor network traffic between the database and clients

To identify unauthorized or anomalous database queries

To record changes to firewall rules

To track user login attempts to the operating system

During the data collection phase of threat intelligence, an analyst wants to gather information about a software vendor's product vulnerabilities and patch releases. Which source is most directly associated with the supply chain?

Dark web forums discussing exploit kits

Vendor security advisories and patch notes

In the context of threat intelligence data collection, what is the role of an EDR solution?

It aggregates threat intelligence feeds from external sources and correlates them with vulnerability data

It performs vulnerability scanning of the entire network infrastructure

It provides real-time visibility into endpoint activities and enables investigation of suspicious events

It acts as a firewall to filter inbound and outbound network traffic
