Selected Answer: C
C. Limit the number of Syslog messages or TCP connections from a specific source for a certain time period would be the best option to prevent a DoS attack on the Syslog server and the loss of Syslog messages from other sources. This will help to prevent an overwhelming number of messages from a single source and allow other sources to send their messages to the Syslog server. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the Syslog server has sufficient resources to handle the number of messages it receives and to regularly monitor the server for any potential security vulnerabilities.
