What is the function of Event Forwarding Target in Deep Security?

The function of Event Forwarding Target in Deep Security is to determine how event logs are managed outside of the Deep Security environment. This feature allows administrators to set up a connection to external systems where logs can be sent for further processing, analysis, or storage. By designating an Event Forwarding Target, organizations can ensure that important security events and incidents are captured effectively and are available for compliance reporting, incident response, and more robust security analytics.

This capability is essential for integrating Deep Security with broader security information and event management (SIEM) systems or other monitoring tools that assist in advanced threat detection and response. By forwarding events, organizations can create a more comprehensive view of their security landscape and improve their ability to react to potential threats.

The other options do not accurately describe the function of the Event Forwarding Target. Disabling notifications or generating alerts is not the primary purpose of this feature, and neither is synchronizing logs with local storage, as that refers to different log management strategies.
