Introduction to Zero-Day Exploits
Zero-day exploits refer to vulnerabilities in software or hardware that are unknown to the vendor or developer. When hackers discover these vulnerabilities before a fix is available, they can exploit them to launch cyber attacks.
Types of Zero-Day Exploits
- Remote Code Execution
- Privilege Escalation
- Denial of Service
Protecting Against Zero-Day Exploits
Regularly update your software, use intrusion detection systems, and practice least privilege access to minimize the risk of zero-day exploits.
