Refer to the exhibit. During the analysis of a suspicious scanning activity incident, an analyst discovered multiple local TCP connection events. Which technology provided these logs?

Antivirus software focuses on detecting and mitigating malicious software on endpoints and does not primarily generate logs of general network connection events.

Proxy servers log web-related traffic that passes through them, not all local TCP connection events across various ports and protocols.

IDS/IPS systems primarily generate alerts and logs related to detected threats or anomalies, rather than comprehensive logs of all network connection events like a firewall.

Firewalls are designed to monitor, filter, and log network connection attempts, including local TCP connection events and suspicious scanning activities, making them the primary source for such logs.
