What does an IOC rule in XSIAM primarily match to generate an alert?

Behavioral patterns of endpoint activity

Combinations of multiple alerts

Specific indicators such as file hashes, IPs, or domains

A correlation alert in XSIAM indicates that an attacker has likely compromised a user account and is attempting lateral movement. The security team wants to take immediate action to prevent further spread. Which action is most appropriate as a direct response to this correlation alert?
