IoCs vs. EoCs: What’s the difference and why should you care?

This Expert Insight defines Enablers of Compromise (EOCs) as environmental conditions that make attacks more likely or impactful, lists common EOCs (legacy protocols, weak passwords, unpatched systems, disabled security controls, unmanaged endpoints, misconfigured logging), and uses examples such as Log4j, a Bitbucket RCE, the Optus breach, and Conti scanning to emphasize the need for regular discovery, hardening, and mitigation of EOCs.
