Zero Day
Definition
What is a Zero-Day Exploit?
A Zero-Day vulnerability is a software flaw that is unknown to the software vendor and has no official patch available.
Attackers exploit zero-day vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, execute malicious code, or steal sensitive data before the vulnerability is discovered and fixed.
Zero-day exploits are highly sought after in the cyber criminal world, as they offer attackers the opportunity to compromise systems minimal to no detection or resistance from existing security measures.
