Zero-day vulnerabilities: what they are and how to respond
Zero-day vulnerabilities often attract attention and concern because of their unpredictability. They are, by definition, weaknesses that are unknown to software vendors and therefore have no official fix at the point of discovery. When discovered and exploited by malicious actors, they allow attackers to bypass controls before organisations even realise there is a problem. The”¦…
