Explanation

Security software logs are generated by network-based and host-based security tools such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), antivirus software, and VPN clients. These logs record events like blocked connections, malware detections, and policy violations. OS logs capture system-level events (logins, process starts). Application logs record events from specific software applications. Audit logs track user actions and policy compliance. Only security software logs specifically cover both network and host-based security product activity.
