IOC
An Indicator of Compromise (IOC) is an artifact — such as a hash, IP, or domain — that signals a possible intrusion. CBRCOR covers using IOCs (and behavioral indicators) in detection and hunting.

SOC
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is the team and facility that monitors, detects, and responds to security incidents.
SIEM
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system aggregates and correlates logs and alerts to detect threats.
SOAR
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) automates incident-response playbooks to accelerate detection and containment.
Playbook
A Playbook is a documented, often automated sequence of response actions for a specific incident type.
Incident Response
Incident Response is the structured process of detecting, analyzing, containing, eradicating, and recovering from security incidents.
Threat Hunting
Threat Hunting is the proactive, hypothesis-driven search for threats that have evaded automated detection.
Threat Intelligence
Threat Intelligence is curated information about adversaries, their infrastructure, and indicators used to inform detection and response.
MITRE ATT&CK
MITRE ATT&CK is a knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques used to map, detect, and reason about attacks.
IOC
An Indicator of Compromise (IOC) is an artifact — such as a hash, IP, or domain — that signals a possible intrusion.
Forensics
Digital Forensics is the disciplined collection and analysis of evidence from hosts, networks, and memory during an investigation.
Chain of Custody
Chain of Custody is the documented, unbroken record of who handled evidence and when, preserving its integrity.
Risk Scoring
Risk Scoring quantifies the severity and priority of vulnerabilities and incidents, often using CVSS and business context.
CVSS
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) rates vulnerability severity using standardized metrics.
Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability Management is the ongoing process of identifying, prioritizing, and remediating security weaknesses.
API Integration
API Integration connects security tools so data and actions flow automatically across the SOC toolchain.
