Zero-Day Exploit

Zero-day exploits are cyber attacks that occur before a weakness is discovered in software. Because there is no existing defense in place, zero-day exploits are extremely dangerous and effective against targeted systems.

The best defense against zero-day exploits involves a robust security infrastructure, quick incident response capabilities, and the use of advanced threat detection technologies that can spot unusual behavior and potential vulnerabilities in software before they can be exploited.
