What distinguishes log reduction from event reduction in NIST SP 800-92, and when are they typically applied?

  1. Log reduction strips fields while event reduction drops entries; both are applied at generation.
  2. Log reduction drops unneeded entries while event reduction strips unneeded fields from every entry; both usually accompany archival.
  3. Log reduction removes entries after correlation while event reduction removes them before; both apply at analysis.
  4. Log reduction compresses files while event reduction deduplicates entries; both are applied at rotation.

Answer: B. Log reduction drops unneeded entries while event reduction strips unneeded fields from every entry; both usually accompany archival.

Log reduction drops unneeded entries, event reduction strips unneeded fields from every entry, and both usually accompany archival so only what matters is retained.
