Why each option

Removing irrelevant or false-positive IPS events to clean and standardize security data is an act of data normalization.

Adata normalizationCorrect

Data normalization in a security operations context involves processing raw event data to remove duplicates, false positives, and irrelevant entries so that the remaining dataset accurately and consistently represents true security events, thereby improving data integrity and the quality of downstream analysis.

Bdata availability

Data availability refers to ensuring that data is accessible when needed, not to the process of filtering or cleaning event records.

Cdata protection

Data protection refers to safeguarding data from unauthorized access, loss, or corruption - not to the act of pruning IPS event logs.

Ddata signature

Data signature is not a standard data management process; signatures are patterns used to identify threats, not a method for improving data integrity.
