ESET IOCs (Indicators of Compromise) are artifacts or pieces of evidence that indicate potential malicious activity or the presence of a cybersecurity threat. They are crucial for cybersecurity analysts and researchers in identifying and investigating cyber threats, such as malware, viruses, or data breaches. IOCs can include IP addresses, domain names, file hashes, URLs, registry keys, and other attributes associated with malicious activities. By collecting and analyzing IOCs, security professionals can proactively detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents, enhancing the overall security posture of organizations and networks.
