Audit logs are specifically designed to record and store a chronological record of security-relevant data for the purpose of non-repudiation and accountability. They contain the trail of user logins, file access, policy changes, and other actions that are typically reviewed during a security audit to detect unauthorized access attempts. Traffic logs primarily record data about the flow and volume of data through the network and are more suited for performance and utilization analysis. Syslog is a protocol used for system management and security auditing but not a specific type of log. Similarly, change logs are focused on tracking configuration or policy changes within the system rather than security breaches or access attempts.
