IoC

Indicators of Compromise

In plain language

A clue left behind by an attack, such as a strange file, a bad web address or an odd login, that shows you were hit.

The metaphor

Like muddy footprints leading to the back door.

Going deeper

How it works

  • Examples include file names, web addresses and login patterns.
  • Security tools match activity against shared lists.
  • Finding one prompts a closer look.
  • Lists change as attackers change tactics.

How WILDCARD handles it

Workstation Defender and Identity Monitor look for signs of compromise on devices and logins.

In practice
  • A tool reports a login from a country with no staff.
  • A scan finds a known bad file.
  • A provider shares a list of web addresses to block.

A question owners ask

Do I need to look for these myself?

No. Your security tools do, and you act on what they report.
