Zero-Day-Vulnerabilities
Exploiting Unknown Weaknesses
Zero-day vulnerabilities are undiscovered or unpatched flaws in software that attackers exploit before a security update is available. These vulnerabilities pose a significant risk, as there is no immediate fix when an attack occurs.
Risks of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities:
- Unknown weaknesses are quickly and strategically exploited.
- Affected systems remain vulnerable until a patch is released.
- Higher risk in complex IT infrastructures with multiple applications.
- Can lead to massive data loss and system failures.
