Indicator of compromise

Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) are pieces of forensic data that identify potentially malicious activity on a system or network. They are used by cybersecurity professionals to detect, respond to, and prevent cyber threats, and can include file hashes, IP addresses, domain names, URLs, email addresses, registry keys, file paths, and network artifacts. IOCs are essential for security teams to identify and mitigate threats effectively, benefiting organizations looking to enhance their cybersecurity posture.
