Definition

PoC, or proof of concept, is simple proof that an idea, vulnerability or integration works in practice. In security, PoC can show how vulnerabilities are exploited, and in web projects - confirm the feasibility of a function before full implementation.

What does it mean in practice?

For hosted services, PoC matters when identifying threats, limiting access, preserving evidence and verifying that a remediation really worked.

A practical Hostilla.pl example

For a security incident, record the affected account, domain, source IP and timestamp before changing logs or files. PoC is useful only when it is connected to evidence and a controlled remediation step.

What should you check?

  • the affected service, URL, account and time window
  • server, application, authentication and mail logs
  • known-good backups and the last controlled change
  • least-privilege access, containment and a verification test
