## Configuration

1. Anomaly detection is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. It automatically monitors backup metadata and file attributes to identify suspicious or unusual activity patterns.

   1. In the Indicators of Compromise section, under Upload your own files, click Select File.

      A file dialog box appears.

   2. Browse and select the IOC file. Note the following:

      - Supported file types: YAR and YARA

      - YARA rule format:

            rule RuleName
            {
                  meta:
                       key1 = "value"
                       key2 = "value"

                  strings:
                       $a = "text string"
                       $b = "hex pattern"
                       $c = /regex_pattern/

                  condition:
                       <logical expression>
            }

      The new file (with a type of YARA Rule Match) will appear in the Indicators of Compromise table.
