Zero-Day Vulnerability
A Zero-Day Vulnerability refers to a software security flaw that is unknown to the software vendor or antivirus providers. Because no official patch or update exists to address the vulnerability, it poses a high risk to systems and data. Attackers can exploit zero-day vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or cause disruptions. Organizations can mitigate risks by employing advanced security measures like behavior-based detection, intrusion prevention systems, and regular security assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities proactively.
