Zero Day Vulnerabilities

A Zero Day Vulnerability is a security flaw that is unknown to the software vendor or the business it is found in and there isn’t a patch released yet for the vulnerability. The term “zero day” refers to the fact that the developers have had zero days to fix the security flaw that has been recently found in their software or hardware. A “Zero Day Attack” occurs when a vulnerability that isn’t yet patched (possibly not even known) by developers of hardware or software is exploited by hackers. This exploit allows hackers to breach a system through the software or hardware “zero-day” vulnerability.
