How does a SOC leverage flow collectors?

The correct answer is C. It provides data for analysis in threat detection and response system. A flow collector gathers metadata about network traffic (such as NetFlow or IPFIX), which SOC analysts use to analyze communication patterns. This data is critical for threat detection and response, helping identify anomalies, lateral movement, or potential attacks.
