What is the purpose of the Cisco Endpoint loC feature?

While Endpoint IoC contributes to overall security, its direct purpose is not "stealth threat prevention" but rather post-compromise detection and investigation.

IoC detection is typically based on specific patterns or behaviors (indicators) rather than solely on traditional static signature-based engines for known malware.

Cisco Endpoint IoC (Indicator of Compromise) is a feature within Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints) that allows security teams to define and scan for specific indicators of compromise, acting as a crucial incident response tool to identify existing breaches.

While IoCs can sometimes reveal pre-compromise activity, the primary strength and purpose of the IoC feature is to find existing compromises (post-breach detection) and aid in incident response, not solely pre-compromise detection.
