Explanation

Session data includes full network session captures (e.g., PCAP files), which can be used to reconstruct binary files such as malware samples. This allows analysts to perform malware analysis by extracting the original executable for further investigation. - Alert data provides security event notifications but does not contain file contents. - Metadata includes summary information (e.g., timestamps, file names) but not full files. - Statistical data provides trends and patterns but does not recreate binaries.
