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.

Exactly! loA shows that a breach has occurred, while loC helps prevent it.

So loA is like the smoke and loC is like detecting the fire early?

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?
