Nope. Anwser is D. Waiting for customers to call would be a reactive way to monitor the environment for DDOS. Automated monitoring of logs is a proactive and more effificient way.

Selected Answer: D
"Automated monitoring of logs." Log monitoring can provide early warning signs of a DDoS attack, such as a sudden increase in traffic volume or an unusual pattern of network activity, that can be used to identify and respond to the attack in a timely manner.
