Discussion

When a security event occurs, the application that has detected the event must immediately notify the appropriate support personnel so they can respond appropriately. Alerts may be generated from a variety of sources, including audit records or inputs from malicious code protection mechanisms, intrusion detection, or prevention mechanisms. Alerts may be transmitted, for example, telephonically, by electronic mail messages, or by text messaging. Individuals designated by the local organization to receive alerts may include, for example, system administrators, mission/business owners, or system owners. IOCs are forensic artifacts from intrusions that are identified on organizational information systems (at the host or network level). IOCs provide organizations with valuable information on objects or information systems that have been compromised. These indicators reflect the occurrence of a compromise or a potential compromise. This requirement applies to applications that provide monitoring capability for unusual/unauthorized activities including but are not limited to host-based intrusion detection, antivirus, and malware applications.
