Question 1 of 3

You are a junior SOC analyst helping to set up a basic security monitoring infrastructure for a small organization. The network has three zones: the Monitored Network carries production traffic from servers and workstations that need to be observed for threats; the SOC zone houses the security operations center tools used by analysts to investigate alerts; and the Collection zone aggregates raw log and packet data before it is forwarded to analysis platforms. A network TAP and a SOC analyst workstation are already placed. Assign the remaining monitoring devices to the correct zones based on their roles in a security monitoring pipeline.
