Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
A software vulnerability unknown to the vendor that has no available patch. The name refers to the vendor having zero days to fix it before exploitation. Zero-day exploits are extremely valuable on black markets and to nation-state actors because no defense exists yet.
Zero-day vulnerabilities represent the highest-severity cybersecurity threats. Threat intelligence analysts track zero-day disclosures to alert organizations. Incident responders must contain zero-day exploitation rapidly since no patch exists. Cybersecurity sales engineers sell solutions like EDR and sandboxing that detect zero-day behavior without signatures.
