What actions can you perform on the IOC FortiView?

The ability to view compromised hosts and acknowledge events on the IOC (Indicators of Compromise) FortiView is crucial for security operations. This functionality allows users to actively monitor and respond to potential threats identified within their network environment. By viewing compromised hosts, security analysts can assess the situation, investigate the scope of the compromise, and take appropriate actions to mitigate any ongoing threats. Acknowledging events indicates that these alerts have been reviewed by a trained analyst, which is an important part of managing alerts and maintaining situational awareness.

While exporting data, generating reports, and accessing external databases are useful functions in other contexts, they do not specifically provide the same depth of interaction and real-time response capabilities that come with acknowledging and viewing compromised hosts. This highlights the significance of option B as it encompasses both the assessment and management aspects of incident response directly related to indicators of compromise within the FortiView interface.
