An Indicator of Compromise (IOC) is a forensic artifact that identifies a potentially malicious activity on a system or network. IOCs are important for both prevention and detection of cyber threats. By inputting IOCs of new cyber threats into software products they can block any processes that match these IOCs and therefore detect the threat before it can get inside the network. IOCs that are used to detect an attack before it can compromise a network are also known as indicators of attack (IOA), they represent a proactive approach.
