Indicators of compromise (IOCs) are pieces of forensic data, such as system log entries, system files or network traffic that identify potentially malicious activity on a system or network. Digital forensics security analysts and information security professionals use indicators of compromise to detect data breaches, malware infections and other security incidents.
By monitoring for indicators of compromise, security teams can detect cyber attacks and act quickly to prevent security breaches from occurring, limit damages and improve incident response.
Indicators of compromise act as red flags that can help InfoSec and cybersecurity teams detect suspicious activity quickly. These can indicate potential threat actors building up to an attack or detect in-progress attacks that could lead to data breaches, ransomware and other types of malware.
