Adding Zero-Day Offense to Vulnerability Management
This white paper describes why organizations are vulnerable to zero-day attacks, and what you can do to add a zero-day offense to your existing vulnerability management processes to protect your organization’s assets and data.
A zero-day threat is a vulnerability that becomes known to the vendor on the same day it becomes known to the public, meaning IT assets targeted by a zero-day threat won’t have a patch available when it’s needed. However, zero-day attacks operate in a realm of the probable – they work only because there are exploitable vulnerabilities within IT systems. Many of these can, and should be prevented.
