Do Indicators of Compromise Matter? The Devil is in the Details

From Security Week:

Do Indicators of Compromise Matter? The Devil is in the Details

"Instead of Discounting Indicators of Compromise, it’s Time to Use Them More Effectively

The security industry has shifted from focusing on just signatures to include Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) as well. This is because in many ways IoCs are more portable, simplistic and compatible across many different detection platforms. However, during this shift IoCs have gotten a bum rap. It’s easy to see how this has happened – indicators can sometimes be just pieces of data without context. Security professionals are struggling to make sense of data, and wondering where to find real value as they strive to secure their environment."
