What is a Zero Day Vulnerability?
A Zero Day Vulnerability is a security flaw that is unknown to the vendor or has no available patch at the time of discovery. Because it is unpatched, it presents a high risk of exploitation.
Zero day vulnerabilities are often leveraged in Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaigns and sophisticated attacks.
What is a Zero Day Vulnerability used for?
Zero day vulnerabilities are used by attackers to bypass Security Controls and gain access before defenses can be implemented. They are highly valuable in targeted attacks and cyber espionage.
Organizations mitigate zero day risks through Defense in Depth, Threat Intelligence, and monitoring for Indicators of Attack (IOA) using tools such as EDR and SIEM.
