- These attacks are challenging to detect due to the lack of patches and can lead to data breaches, system downtime, financial loss, and reputational damage.
- Indicators of a Zero-Day attack include unusual system behavior, suspicious network traffic, increased exploit attempts, software or hardware anomalies, and detection of malicious payloads.
- Repercussions of Zero-Day attacks include data breaches, system downtime, financial loss, reputational damage, intellectual property theft, and spread of malware.
- Mitigating Zero-Day risks involves implementing advanced threat detection systems, regular patch management, least privilege principle, incident response planning, and collaboration with the security community.
- Organizations need to stay vigilant, update software regularly, limit user privileges, and be prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to Zero-Day attacks.
- Collaboration with cybersecurity experts, vendors, and government agencies can provide early warnings and solutions to mitigate the impact of Zero-Day vulnerabilities.
