Reporting to a SOC team and third-party services using IOC feeds
Some of the significant objectives of a SOC team are to monitor enterprise systems, secure systems against data breaches, and proactively identify and mitigate security risks. Monitoring their environment for malicious activities requires them to know what attackers are doing and how to find suspicious activity within their infrastructure.
Therefore, third-party services like Indicator of Compromise (IOC) feeds are important sources for SOC team members to get data intelligence because, when cyber criminals attack an organization, they usually leave traces like IP addresses, host and domain names, email addresses, filenames, file hashes, and so on.
