Haha, I like that analogy! It makes it a lot easier to remember the difference. Okay, so I'm guessing the answer is C - IoC is the evidence that a breach has occurred, and IoA allows organizations to act before the vulnerability can be exploited.

Exactly! I read somewhere that IoA is like the smoke, indicating that there's a fire, while IoC is more about detecting the fire before it starts. At least, that's how I remember it.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I'm pretty sure IoA is the evidence that a breach has already occurred, while IoC is about identifying potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the difference between IoA and IoC, but I think it has something to do with the timing of the security breach, right?
