Why each option

One benefit of implementing an egress monitoring solution is inventorying data assets by observing data leaving the network.

APreventing DDoS attacks

Preventing DDoS attacks primarily involves ingress traffic filtering and specialized protection services, not egress monitoring.

BInventorying data assetsCorrect

Egress monitoring solutions track and analyze data transmitted outbound from a network, providing visibility into what data assets are leaving, which aids in creating an inventory of sensitive information and identifying potential exfiltration.

CInterviewing data owners

Interviewing data owners is a manual data governance activity, not a direct benefit of an automated egress monitoring solution.

DProtecting against natural disasters

Protecting against natural disasters involves physical security and disaster recovery planning, unrelated to monitoring outbound network traffic.
