IOC Indicator of Compromise Definition: An Indicator of Compromise (IOC) is a piece of evidence or observable behavior that potentially indicates a computer system or network has been breached or compromised by an attacker.
An Indicator of Compromise (IOC) in cybersecurity is a piece of forensic data that suggests a computer system or network has been breached or compromised. IOCs can include IP addresses, domain names, file hashes, URLs, registry keys, and patterns in network traffic that indicate potentially malicious activity. These indicators are used by security professionals to detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents, helping to identify the presence of threats and mitigate their impact on an organization's information systems.
IOC Indicator of Compromise is one of the topics you'll master in the CySA+ Boot Camp.
